Hi guys,
Today after I got the car washed at the station, TPMS gave me a warning. Switched off the car and the warning is still there. The pics below speak of themselves. Any info?










Thanks

 

Do the re-set. If that doesn't help, get a gauge, you may need a little air.

 

Often if the temperature has dropped much, the tire pressure lights will come on as the temperature obviously affects the volume of air in the tire. If you drive a while, especially on the highway and get the tires warmed up it will usually go off. Or, as Jamie said, just put a couple of pounds of air in them and you should be fine. My TPMS light comes on every winter when it starts getting cold and stays on most of the time until spring.

 

Yeah, my TPMS has been coming on like crazy. Had to fill up 3 different tires on different days yet all happened last week, and oddly got a flat in the 4th... sob.

 

The tires weren't cold when I took the pics. After 15 minutes drive the pressure was the same. Took the car to a tire dealer and he filled the car as of the door sticker.

If I filled the tires with more air, wouldn't that be beyond the recommended pressure?

 

The same thing happens to me often to with my 997TT. I usually fill the tires while the car is running so that i can see when the minuses go away.

 

My concern is: why the warning started just after I washed the car?!! The pressure was the same for the past three weeks.

 

Because TPMS lights just suck. That's my official answer.

 

tpms sensors suck.

 

Mine has been going off regularly since the temp dropped in Toronto. Tonight both my rears are showing they are down .02 - F'ing annoying.
