Sup Dodge4Life,
From what I searched on the net not until late 2007 were the new 2008's was TPMS offered on D's but I could wrong with info! I'm curious now myself! Who' has the answer!!!!!

 

I question this cause there's a TPMS light on my dash that's been on since I purchased the Durango last summer. I check the tire pressure once a month and keep it at rated psi.

 

Well very slow work day for a Friday I called a stealership and they have no clue. I get answer from a service guy that says it could have been offered on 04 model year!

 

I'll wait and see if I get an answer on here... then I'll go to a stealership and see what they say. I was told when I bought the D it does has TPMS, but one of the sensors is broken. But maybe they were wrong... idk?

 

Man I love this place!!
Here's link from 2008 about the light interesting and well my friend just read it!lol

Didn't even realized I had posted in that thread... i'm gonna contact the local stealership and see what they can do.

 

Yeah..probably a bad sensor.

 

Once I go over there, hopefully they can find the problem or disable it through their computers?

 

Take it do the dealer.....they have the right computers an such for it. Sensors are like 30 bucks or something....

 

I have a 2004 Hemi Limited and have not seen a TPMS on it. I did'nt see it in the manual either? I do have ESP and that was a 2004 option.

 

Alright... thanks!

 

No TPMS on my 04 D!!!

Are the valve stems on the wheels rubber or metal-ish???

My Jeep has TPMS, and the stems are metal-ish. They're not flexible....tell ya that much...

 

They programmed my truck to have them after I did the instrument cluster recall....

But, Um, as far as I know, 04's didnt ever come with them, and my lights were all on...

I didn't get very far.

 

The meta-ish one are a sure-fire sign there is TPMS on the car.

Although, some cars like, our Toyota Highlanders (pre '07) and the Sienna ( 99-02 ) use the wheel speed sensors to determine tire PSI and those stems were rubber!!!

That's neat....:IDEA:

 

Seems like it got programmed for TPMS during an ECU reflash. Somebody goofed up when they reflashed it for what ever reason. They should be able to reflash it for no TPMS. The light is on because its looking for sensor outputs, but there are no sensors...

 

Sounds good... what would be a common reason why the ECU was reflashed in the past? A repair, programmer, tunner..?

 

The flash was due to a recall. The lighting in the dash was putting out too much heat and had caused several fires in the dash area. They reflashed it so the lights would be dimmer and produce less heat but the reflash also caused other problems like the CD changer not to work. They were also replacing dash board that couldn't be reflashed. Depending on when yours was done they may have replaced the dash with a newer model with the tire pressure sensor.

 

I thought the whole cluster got replaced under that recall....

 

Me too....

 

App Dawg... that sounds like it could be the root cause!

 

The one's that the flash didn'tr work were replaced. A dealer should have a record of the work that was done but the tire management system was not available in the 04 model. My limited has ever option that was available in 04 and that system wasn't available to my knowledge not that I would want it anyway; adds extra problems and cost when upgrading wheels.

 

Found this info on the recall on the cluster.....

Dealers will inspect the cluster for damage and replace it free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during April 2007. Owners may contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-853-140.

 

Dodge4L1fe I can say with absolute certainty that the '04 D did not come with TPMS. It was not added as an option until at least the 2006 model year and possibly later than that. Dodge knew they'd be adding it as an option in future years so they made all 2nd Gen D's with the sensor light. The same as with the overhead console temperature sensor for the ATC. The driver's side sensor is there and there's a cutout for the passenger side sensor but there is no sensor for the passenger side. It wasn't added until later model years as well so there could be dual climate control.

 

Mystro: The 2004 D does not have ESP. It has traction control. There is a difference, although I do not know what the difference is. ESP wasn't available until 2006 or newer I think.

 

On my 1st 2nd Gen Red D I had the TSB 07 Instrument Cluster replaced and my Green2nd Gen D Just some wires were changed to make the lights go out quickly not fade! I can't stand to see a dashboard light come yet alone stay on so know how you feel guys!!
