12 1500 Ram 4x4....EVIC on the dash, TPMS on the wheels.
I air the tires up to the 50lb. mark but the dash still reads 43lbs. I turned the truck on/off several times, I drove home about 12 miles since airing the tires up. What the heck will make it register correctly? I can't find anything in my owner's manual.

bad sensor?

My truck doesn't have the tpms sensors... I used the tuner to turn off my warning light, haven't seen it on since.

I just watch my tire pressures on my own, like people have been doing since inflatable tires were put on cars!

^^I didn't think you could disable the TPMS with any tuner? Was it in a new update for your tuner or something?

Dunno when it came out, worked as soon as I got the tuner though.

I can change the pressure it goes on or turn it off completely.

50 pounds for stock tires? Isn't that a little high?

In any case, my first thought is to reset computer by pulling the positive cable on the battery and let it sit for like an hour, then plug it back in, but other than, that, it is probly the tire sensor.
