The system alarm is designed to activate when the tire pressure exceeds 45 PSI.
With new, smaller sidewall tires and larger 20" rims, the air pressure fluctuates a lot more due to less air space inside the tire.
This means that in warmer weather, the alarm goes off ALL THE TIME.
Is there a flash computer fix available to correct the problem?
Any suggestions?

Hello partner. The difference in air pressure variations from a 16',17' or 20" tires is a non-factor. Any size tire will go up about 1psi per 10 degrees ambient temperature. The recommended pressure for an 03 Grand Cherokee is 33psi. So if it's a rainy 55 degrees in the great northwest when you set your pressures the temperature on your trip to Death Valley would have to climb to about 175 degrees. On a different note maybe your alarm just isn't calibrated correctly.
