Default Tpms reset easy or hard

Is it wise to reset tpms sensors yourself or is it less problematic going to dealer?? Switched to my factory tires for winter tire on factory rims.... Now my Tpms light is constantly on in my dash board... Suggestions would be grateful... Already read the procedure on how to do.. Just want to make sure I don't mess up my computer.... I am a noob to f150's...

Its easy to do it you follow the directions simple. You'll know at the end of the process if it worked correctly. I had to do mine twice.

Just make sure you do everything step by step.

When letting air out of the tires for a reset. make sure the horn blows (might not do it immediately)

Umm read your manual! also unless your rear tires take a different psi then your front you don't need to reset your tpms.

No, you don't! instructions to reset it are in the Owner's Manual!
