Tyre pressure system error
Posted: Sat Dec 23, 2023 3:33 pm
Looking for any suggestions on troubleshooting the tyre pressure monitoring system please.
About 3 weeks ago the TPMS orange warning started flashing and an error appeared on the digital display show TPMS system error and all four wheels highlighted yellow.
I checked the pressures and inflated them slightly and reset the system. Warning light keeps coming back after about a week and has been reset 2 more times. Tyres have not lost pressure.
This happened once before and it sorted itself after about 4-5 resets. I have not scanned the car with OBDeleven tool for any error codes. Just want to ask on her if anyone else has had the same issues recently before I started replacing ABS sensors. Will OBDeleven indicate a faulty sensor or will I need to do a wheel speed test?
Can you fool these passive sensors by setting them at low pressure then inflating the tyres to the correct pressure?
Merry Xmas to all.
