Only small TPMS light is on

vxb · 02-18-2007, 09:37 PM

I installed yesterday brand new winter wheels and tires with tpms I bought from Crown Auto. I did reset tmps and drove for 2 days with no warning lights. Tonight a small warning yellow light first started flashing in the right upper corner and then lit up contnously but it's not accompanied by a large warning light. According to the manual, p. 69 both lights should be on in the case of mulfunction. I installed the whhels and tpms at a local shop. How do I go to figure out what's happening? If it's one of the tmps, how to find out which one?
Thanks in advance.

what type of valve stems did you have on the OEM rims? are the the silver with the 10mm head on the end. or are they black and rubber.

They are the the silver on both OEM and winter wheels, thank you.

I was thinking that maybe your new rims have the tpm blanks. look alike valve stems, but you said the light went out. You could have a bad sensor. Your going to need to take it to the dealer. They should be able to get all the info as to whats going on.

Good luck
