    ^ I don't think so. That will turn off the feature, but the light on the dash is on because the truck can't find the PCS data that is supposed to be there.

    The same happens when my sensor gets very dusty. I can turn it on and off in the cab, but the light stays on in the cluster until I clean the sensor.

    OP, you probably need a high level (probably dealership) tool to remove the warning light permanently.

    The truck wants PCS, without the physical sensor in place it isn't going to be happy.

    Thank you guys. Yes I did try that button. But o don’t have a PCS installed anymore. Since I don’t live in the USA I can’t easily get my hands on one.
    In reality I don’t care about that feature but the light does annoy me.

    You could always pull the cluster and put tape on the backside to cover the light. I did that with the tpms on my 07.

    I remember seeing that dealers could disable TSS things but it would be permanent, and the lights wouldn't go away lol
