2017 Ram 1500 Tpms Reset Button Location
The 2017 Ram 1500 does not have a TPMS reset button. Searching under the steering wheel, behind a kick panel or inside the glove box will not turn one up. The tire pressure monitoring system updates automatically once the tires are inflated to the correct pressure and the truck has been driven.
The 2017 Ram 1500 is one of the later fourth-generation (DS) trucks, so its TPMS works like the earlier 2009–2018 models. Ram’s owner’s manual for 2009–2018 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks says that after you correct the tire pressure, the vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) before the system updates and the warning light turns off. It does not describe a reset button.
The steps below show the correct procedure and what to check if the warning stays on. For other trucks and a full model-year chart, see our Dodge Ram TPMS reset button location and relearn guide.
How to Reset the TPMS Warning on a 2017 Ram 1500
- Let the tires cool, then check the pressure with an accurate gauge. Cold pressure is the correct reference.
- Find the Tire and Loading Information placard on the driver-side door opening or B-pillar and note the recommended pressure for each axle. Do not use the maximum pressure printed on the tire sidewall.
- Inflate every affected road tire to that pressure.
- Start the truck and drive above 15 mph (24 km/h).
- Allow up to 20 minutes of driving, then check the instrument cluster. If all tires show valid pressures and the light is off, no further reset is needed.
Is There a TPMS Reset Button on a 2017 Ram 1500?
No. Many generic guides online describe a button under the steering column, in the glove box or behind a trim panel, but those instructions are written for other vehicles and should not be applied to a 2017 Ram 1500.
Why the TPMS Light Stays On After Adding Air
- One or more tires are still below the placard pressure, even if they look fine.
- The tires were adjusted while warm, so the cold pressure is actually lower than the gauge reading.
- A temperature drop overnight lowered the pressure below the warning threshold.
- The truck has not finished the drive cycle needed to receive the updated readings.
- A sensor battery has failed, which normally means replacing the sensor.
- A replacement sensor is not compatible or has not been programmed for the truck.
Solid Light vs Flashing Light
A solid TPMS light usually means at least one monitored tire is below the required pressure. Correct the pressure and complete the drive cycle above.
A light that flashes and then stays on points to a system fault rather than low pressure. The cluster may also show SERVICE TPM SYSTEM and dashes in place of a pressure value. Ram’s 2022 Ram 2500/3500 manual lists radio frequency interference, aftermarket window tint, snow or ice buildup, tire chains and wheels without TPMS sensors as possible triggers. Adding more air will not clear a fault; see our guide to the Service Tire Pressure System warning on the Ram 1500 message for the next steps.
TPMS After a Tire Rotation or New Sensors
After a rotation, start with the normal drive cycle. If the pressures are correct but the truck still does not update after enough driving, a TPMS-capable scan or activation tool may be needed to confirm the sensor IDs and wheel positions.
A replacement sensor must match the truck and, if it is a programmable sensor, be programmed for it before the truck can recognize it. Most 2011–2025 Ram 1500 trucks use 433 MHz sensors, but frequency and protocol can change between model years, so confirm the part number before you buy. Our guide to the TPMS sensor after a tire change covers what to expect afterwards.

2017 Ram 1500 TPMS FAQ
Where is the TPMS reset button on a 2017 Ram 1500?
There is no TPMS reset button on a 2017 Ram 1500. The system updates automatically after you set the tires to the placard pressure and drive the truck.
How do I reset the TPMS on a 2017 Ram 1500?
Inflate every affected tire to the cold pressure listed on the door-jamb placard, then drive above 15 mph for up to 20 minutes so the system can receive the new readings.
How long does the TPMS take to update on a 2017 Ram 1500?
Ram’s manuals say the vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph after the pressure is corrected before the warning light turns off.
Why is the TPMS light still on in my 2017 Ram 1500?
The pressure may still be below the placard value, the drive cycle may not be complete, or there may be a sensor or system fault. If the light flashes and then stays on, or the cluster shows SERVICE TPM SYSTEM, diagnose the system instead of adding more air.
Do I need a TPMS tool for a 2017 Ram 1500?
Not to clear a normal low-pressure warning. A TPMS-capable tool is useful when a new sensor is not recognized or the wheel positions do not update after a rotation.
Conclusion
The 2017 Ram 1500 has no TPMS reset button to find. Set every tire to the cold placard pressure, drive above 15 mph for up to 20 minutes and let the system update. If the light flashes or will not clear, diagnose the sensors and receiver rather than searching for a hidden button. Always verify the exact procedure in your owner’s manual, and see our Dodge Ram TPMS reset button location and relearn guide for other model years.
