Do you know where they are located? Contact between dissimilar metals can cause galvanic corrosion, which can lead to loss of air pressure. I have the factory full size spare with a rubber valve stem no sensor. I still need to get one for the Nitro. It hasn't caused me any grief for about 8 months or so. This will enable the technician to establish if the sensor has failed or is not fitted, whether the pressure port on the sensor is blocked, where the part is running at too high a temperature and other diagnostic information which might be included in the specific sensor e. Then, the light would go out. Your car dealer will have one, and some independent repair shops might as well.
This morning the tire pressure was 33-34 when it went off the first time. I would see if the dealer would replace them. Has there been a drastic temperature change on your area?? I'm pretty sure it's a loose connection but thought I'd throw it out and see what you guys think. Recommended pressure for each tire is printed on the side of the tire. I checked the pressures on the screen and they are all good. One last thing: That can of aerosol flat-fixer in your trunk may damage the sensor.
In an attempt to reduce the sensor's mass and keep the wheel in balance, the metal stem of the sender is commonly made of aluminum. A chime will sound to verify exit. Always make sure the correct sensor is being used and be sure to replace the sensor with the correct part number. Ignore what's printed on the tire sidewall. Thank you Click to expand.
No matter, problem solved for now. If this is not the case then this indicates a puncture. Are they battery operated or hard wire? Each manufacturer has its own tool and procedure. The temps have been in the 40-50 over the weekend. You'll need to find out exactly what procedure your vehicle needs any time you rotate tires or install winter tires.
Mar 08, 2010 It is possible that one of the sensors was damaged when they replaced the tires. Just trying to come up with a way to figure out which one it is. I have replaced all 4 wheel sensors and have verified they are transmitting as expected. You may have to before you can post: click the register link above to proceed. In order to properly maintain vehicle tire pressure, please refer to the owner's manual for additional information regarding tire inflation.
One of the items I have mentioned before was a new battery. On many vehicles, there's even a sender on the spare tire. I give up, will just maintain my habit of pushing the button every time I start the car I guess. I guess this is not a simple solution. I know that there are the 4 sensors in the wheels and there must be a receiving sensor somewhere on the car that reports to the computer. Remote start still works, and no idiot lights come on.
These guys have worked in the car plants and also in the aftermarket solving the problems you are addressing. As Cibalo indicates, I suspect this is hapenning due to some loosed connection. I believe there are 3. Properly inferring tire pressures this way can be a problem when the tires are unevenly worn, or if you replace only two worn tires instead of all four. Does any body have any experience with these systems? What a lame place to put it. That could be the issue if it is indeed a full size spare.
So check the spare tire pressure. The procedure varies from vehicle to vehicle, and this one won't necessarily work on yours. Tires and the spare tire should be r. You can reset the system to allow for wear when all the tire pressures are correct. This info is also in the owner's manual. I drove to the store and stopped and then drove off again and it went off and the pressure was 35-36.
