I'm gonna be a jerk and say more air then drive it around the block a few times. That's what vw had

1-drive the truck for a few minutes turn of truck
2- turn key to on but do not start
3- turn the hazards on then off 3 times in 10 seconds

If done right horn will sound and yellow light on dash will and a message "train left front"

4- remove air pressure on left front until horn sounds

5- repeat for tires in following order right front right rear left rear

After last horn chirp should say training complete

6- turn off key. If horn chirps twice not successful - try again

Put air in tires to proper psi

If you're trying to run a lower tire pressure you can't disable it. If your tires are properly inflated it takes a quick drive to clear. If they don't clear and you're sure the tires are properly inflated then you might have a faulty TPMS sensor.

when i bought my Generals at America's tires they changed my tps settings with a tool they hold on the tire near the tps. next time i go in there i am going to ask how low they can set the tps.

My tire presure light just started to come on on Friday night...All tires have 32 psi (measured on a digital guage, in 30 degree temp) in them. I'm assuming I'm having a TPS issue.
