DupliColor NG CC 431 Blaze Red Crystal ( ARH, PRH CHRYSLER )

N/A = Naturally Aspirated ( no supercharger, has movable spoiler )
SRT6 = supercharged, has fixed "ironing board" spoiler.

As to the TPMS light, the batteries should not be dead yet ( approx 10 yr life ), so there is some other problem. You can either fix the issue, or lookup a thread here that describes disabling the TPMS light. ( some people just put a patch of black electricians's tape over it )

Hint : update your profile with your location, probably some members close by that are willing to help with issues.

WELCOME ABOARD !!!!!!

another way to tell the N/A from the SRT6 :
If it's easy to clean the wheels, it's an N/A ( 7 spoke silver )
The SRT6 has 15 spoke wheels.

Alexfire gave you some good info. Lot's to add but I'd suggest you peruse this forum and it's many wonderful threads about the care, it 's reliability etc. BTW, the car is pretty reliable. As far as the TPMS light, you may get a code because you have too much air.........I think 36 is over inflated. I believe the tires call for 32 in the front and 33 in the rear --------but 36 isn't so far off 33 that it should throw a TPMS light. Someone could have messed them up when they changed the tires........

I'm a car guy, not a bike guy and I love these cars. I trust you will as well. Good luck with her.

Here is a quick index of common problems, when I say common I do not mean that they happen all the time just that they have occurred and they have been fixed. It also has 'how to do' articles, like changing bulbs the best way also modifications and maintenance articles, a good read.
Index.

The index has the article to disable the TPMS light if you decide to go that way.
I see you are in Florida, there are quite a few owners down there so you are in good company.
