So I just recieved new rims from a vendor here and I put them on about a month ago. But frequently these days Low tire pressure dash light lights up when I am on the freeway(not local). The first time it happened to me I checked my tires and my rear right one was low(around 16) so I filled it up to 35 ish just like the other ones. However I was coming back home today from LA to Irvine, on the freeway this popped up again and now I am wondering what the problem is. I checked the pressure when I got home but they were all around 35.

Anyone having such problem after getting aftermarket rims?
(I dont have TPMS installed on my new rims)

thanks in advance guys

I believe that is your problem buddy.

 

so If I dont have tpms installed on my new rims, they will throw "low tire pressure dash light" whenever they want to?

In that case I just have to check my tire pressure frequently.

any input guys?

 

How about installing TPMS on them?

 

it will throw the light every single time.

 

can you do it yourself? or do you have to take it to a shop?

 

Usually after 30 or 45 minuted they will throw the light.

 

yea.. thats around time i been getting at. Nothing wrong with it but just kinda iffy cuz dash light pops up. I will just check my tire pressure once in awhile.. not a big problem..

thanks guys.

You'd have to take it to the shop, and have them re-mount the tires/install the TPMS. What happened to the TPMS that was on your old/stock wheels?

 

i decided to sell them with the rims. I would like to install tpms however I only have Z as a dd and cannot carry 4 tires around

thanks for help though!

 

Hmm I have a few sets of aftermarket wheels / tires and none of them have TPMS installed. Whenever I have those wheels on the light comes on and blinks as soon as I turn the car on, then after 30 seconds or so it stays on solid. At first it was annoying, now I'm used to it. If it always blinked I would have to get TPMS to make it go away, but I can deal with the steady glow. Mine is a 2006 - maybe the earlier years have some sort of delay built in?

 

i guess 2005 is 60 times slower than 2006's

 

get tpms installed, i got tired of the light so just went to shop and got it installed. it beats checking all 4 tires every once in awhile

 

if i had a bigger car I would gladly do it

 

ibt 'noob questions thread' post

 

1 buy new tps'
2 you fail

 

I failed because I didn't install my tpms? I respect your comment but I created this thread for me to clarify things not asking if I failed or not. You definitely failed to answer my question.

 

Your tps' are not installed, which is why the warning light is on. Buy new tps', and you still fail.

 

....



well my questions are answered. no more discussion needed in this thread.
thank you everyone

 

Does anyone have a picture of the TPMS? is it something that locks onto the valve stem?
