PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP... thank you once again in advance!

read your owners manual or search. this has been discussed numerous times

 

never seen it but im guessing your tire pressure levels..
F= front tires, R= rear tires...you're tire pressure is probibly low...i usually run mine at 35 psi all the way around...if you look inside the door jam on the driver side door, it will tell you what you should run them at...other wise look in you're owners manual about that light.

Anytime you have a blinking light, chances are pretty good that it's not normal.

Your friend the owners manual will explain all the details but the bottom line is that your tire pressure are too low. The label on the drivers door frame will have the correct tire pressure for your model listed - probably around 35 psi.

Get a good tire pressure gauge to check the pressures and fill those puppies up!!!

 

Read the manual, but there is one thing it won't explain. When the gauge is showing tire pressure, you switch from Front to Rear by depressing the button below the one that scrolls through the computer selections. It isn't obvious whether the top or bottom is for the tire on the right or left. I think it can vary depending on the tire sensor as my rear left is the bottom reading and I've seen guys say their rear right is the bottom number.

I've had a tire sensor replaced under warranty as it often went blank and gave me that blinking tire light on the main dash.

 

Thanks for the help guys, i appreciate everyone suggesting the owners manual, but unfortunately when I bought this car, the owner didn't have it, so I knew this forum would be a right place for help ....any more suggestions or information would be very appreciated...thanks....u guys r huge hep...

 

We can help you with the "no manual" problem too. Click on this link...

Don't have my manual handy, but in general: When a tire gets x% low, the gauge screen goes to the tire pressure screen, no matter what the screen was on at the time(RPM, Speed, etc). The PSI light blinks on the computer gauge and also a tire symbol lights on your main dash.

You can manually put the computer gauge back onto another screen(like speed), but the psi light will continue to show on both gauges.

Once you put air in the tire that's low, you usually won't get a reading at all until you go over 16 mph. If the tire wasn't low, then you need to go to the dealer to have them check it out. If you have custom wheels, someone may have not put the sensors in correctly or even left them out. The sensors are attached to the valve stems.

 

Thanks DAveZ... i have downloaded the manual... thats one thing that sucks cause i truelly didnt have the manual and i did search but i didnt know that that gauge was about the tire pressure.. i was guessing more mechanical stuff like oil or engine oil or whatever.... but yea... ill go and put air in them and i got the Grand Touring ED wheels 18's so their are stock...

 

Dude those arent the GT wheels if you dont already know that. The GT wheels are 19's in the rear and 18's in the front they are the rays light wgt wheels also the GT has the defusers and the Brembos. I think you have the 06 Touring you might want to fix that issue also.
