I had some work done on my car this last weekend and now the TPS warning comes on whenever I start up the car. I know the battery was disconnected while the car was worked on and the tires weren't removed because they never asked for the wheel lock key.

It appears to reset after a few restarts and a long drive (20-30 min) but then I get the error again on teh next start-up. I can describe the error as a long beep followed by: a light on the speedo, the multi-gauge flashes the pressure w/ the tps letters lite up.

When / how do I permenently reset the TPS system?

 

Anyone?

 

What is your TPS reading? Dashes or is it numbers as usual?

 

First it beeps for about 15 seconds and flashes the tires pressure, which is about 28 psi when cold. It will continue to flash if I don't touch anything. A tires indicator light comes on over the speedo also.

If I touch the top gauge button on the speedo pod it will change and display the last function it was set too. I have mine set to the mph. However, a small flashing tps is illuminated in the bottom right part of the multi-gauge.

What is goin on? Is my tire pressure too low?

Even after the tires warm up to 32 psi the display and indicators remain on. If I drive for a good distance the warnings turn off but on re-starting the car, the whole thing repeats.

All I had installed were headers and a Stillen exhaust. No reason to remove the tires.

Any help is appreciated.

 

According to the owners manual, if the vehicle is being driven on a flat tire or extremely low tire pressure(lower than 28psi) the low tire pressure warning light comes on , and the chime sounds for about 10 seconds. On the trip computer the PSI indicator starts flashing and the current display switches to the tire pressure indicator. Might want to put a little air in the tires, the manual also has tire pressure, it suggests 35 lbs.

 

Thx. I'll give that a try.

 

To reset your onboard TPMS after an alarm alert, you must get all the tire pressures to 35 pounds each to reset the system. That should stop the symptons you are seeing.

 

Yup that worked. Filled tires to 37 psi then backed them off to 35 psi. no more warning. It was strange that the pressure dropped on all four tires to make the warning go off. Oh well fixed now. Thanks to all for your help.
