TPMS light on

I had my stock wheels and tires put back on today. They switched the TPMS sensors back to the old wheels yet the light is still on after 60 miles.

What should I do?

Do you have the proper tire pressure in your tires?

They said to bring it back and they will reset. I have the little remote can I just reset myself?

Yes you can. The instructions should be in the owners manual. Does your truck have different pressure settings between front and rear? If so, that is why the light is on. Unless you got the tires in exactly the same between front and rear, it would think at least 1 tire is low. Reset takes all of about 2 minutes.

Take a look at the 2008 F150 owners manual. It has the reset procedure in it on page 231. You can look at this manual at www.motorcraftservice.com, in the owners manual section.

Takes me right to it. Doing this from work? May be why you can't get there.
