The tire psi display in my z has been flashing and warning me for the last week that my rear tires are low (16), but when I use a manual pressure guage it reads 34. Anybody have this problem?

It sounds as if you must re-initiate your TPS. There is a procedure to set tires at steped pressures on each tire. Then reset the TPS reciever. Then of course set the tires to 35 PSI all around. It's in the service manual. There are two ways to initialize the TPS senders.

Cheers Amy -

Did you have the wheels broke down, or transfer TPS to new wheels? Marking each TSP sender so it stays in the same location is important.

Packloyal, did you ever get this figured out?

I had a similar problem when I had a slow leak in one tire. After I got the tire fixed I had to jump all the tires back up to 37 psi for a while ( few hours of driving). The TPS seeems to have reset. The I lowered the pressure back down to 34 psi and all is good.

I must comment on the fact that the tire, just parked, looks normal even when the pressure reads very low (6-8 psi). Guess the low profile tire hides the fact that the tire is low.

That's good info. So your tps was messed up and you inflated the tires to 37 for awhile and it reset? I gotta try that.

I tried it and no luck. One sensor just stays at 16-19. I'm gonna bring it back to the dealer again to reprogram but I doubt it will work. I'll probably replace the sensor.
