Tire Pressure Warning Won't Go Away

mmurray · 07-10-2014, 08:26 AM

Like the title says, I've tried resetting via the dash but no luck.

I had moved from RFT to non on my last set, no issues. This time around, I experimented with wider tires up front and didn't like the loss of handling in favor of grip so wen't back to stock sizes in a full set of direzzas.

Thanks to the profile, the wide up front experiment were a little big, but I understood this would only affect the speedo - pressures never changed.

Is there another way I can reset? The tires aren't flat and this light is annoying.

Maybe one of the batteries on the sensors is out?

The TPMS sensors have no way of knowing what size or model of tire is installed as they only measure inflation pressure.

Good to know. Just reset them via the dash again and they've been off for the commute in so fingers crossed it holds.

How would I go about replacing the battery on TPMS?

You replace the whole sensor.

I just had this problem where I couldn't get it off after getting the tire pressures correct. Turns out I had a leak from a plug in the tire. Weird tho since the tire pressure was right.
