Is it a recent fault?

Have you swapped the wheels around? I didn't think it mattered but some say otherwise. One thing I did notice when I had my 07 Harley was that when I fitted my winter wheels (no sensors) it actually took over 2 weeks before the warning "TPMS fault" came up on the message centre. Another thing to check is on the outside of the chassis below the drivers side floor, there is a plastic box/guard, inside it are a couple of wiring connectors, it is immediately behind the nearside front wheel & can fill with mud & water blocking the drain holes & causing corrosion inside the connectors. On mine it brought up the ABS light & disabled the rear parking sensors until I cleaned it all up, I'm pretty sure that everything that goes to the back of the truck goes through these so worth checking, cleaning & packing with dielectric grease to avoid future issues.

Rob i will come back to your post on Saturday after i pick it up. One thing I think I need to do is change to bigger profile tyres. The ride is not as compliant as the Ram.

May be that one wheel is missing a sensor or that one sensor needs activating.

Give me a call during the week and we can have a look at it.
