Hey if you mean turn the dash light off. not that I know of. Sucks I would like to be off also.
I plan to contract Chrysler and ask them if they can write a flash that will turn off the light.

It will chime again and I don't believe it is as simple as pulling "the bulb"
The tire dash light(#13) is illuminated by a dedicated Light Emitting Diode (LED) that is soldered onto the EMIC electronic circuit board. You would have to take the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) appart an remove the LED from the a ICB(circuit board). FYI the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) does have 9 incandescent bulb and bulb holder units installed on the cluster circuit board for general illumination lighting Even if you managed to do that the Wireless Control Module (WCM) will still see that all the tires are low and send a message to the Electronic Overhead Module (EOM) "little computer in the roof" Plus if you have a warrenty still I'm sure you will void it after.
So yes NowTopless is right it is just a bulb(LED) but it is not that easy and removing the bulb will not get rid of all the warnings. Sorry
The best solution is to see if Chrysler can write a flash that can remove/turn off the TPM system from your KJ and I'm not sure how to go about doing that. You or we could all write an email(s) to someone at Chrysler and ask for it. It's worth a try.

Good luck with geting the TPMS turned off. I'm good friends with the guy that runs the service department here in Cold Lake. I asked if they could turn off the TPMS when I go wheeling, My Cragars don't have TPMS installed.. He flat out said NO. They can change the pressure at which the system cues the lamp to illuminate but unfortunately cannot, and will not, disable the TPMS system. It's a safety feature and part of DMC's way of covering their own corporate asses (CYA). Too many Joe Q Publics running around with dangeously low tire pressures. Low tire pressure greatly increases the risk of a tire malfunction and with alot of today's low profile rubber it can be really difficult to eyeball the tire for low pressure. The low profile tires don't bulge like old bias-plys when lacking adequate pressure. That, and alot of people don't bother to check tire pressures regularly. So.... most automobile manufacturers have implemented a tire pressure warning system. All in the name of safety because folks are just too lazy to use a presssure gauge once a week. Think of it like airbags, try and get those disabled!!

ptsb5a is right! I asked also, it is considered a safety feature and will not be turned off.
You can have the threshold changed to a low of 22psi but that's it.
