Did you install the sending units on your new wheels?

Hi KC_RX-8,

so i guess no one has got any advice for me?

I've got some :) ........ if the TPMS warning light is flashing, then try the following:

Look at "Tire Pressure Monitoring System Service Tips"

http://www.finishlineperformance.com/rx8/docs/02-002-03.html

Assuming you do have the TPMS wheel units (sensors) installed on all wheels, you should just have to do step 3 "Perform Wheel Unit Auto Registration" under the "Replacing a TPMS wheel unit" section (bottom of document - or http://www.finishlineperformance.com/rx8/docs/02-002-03-5.gif ) .

Just curious, which wheels and sensors (Mazda?) are you using ?

Let us know if the above fixes the problem.

Good luck,
rx8cited

Is the light on or flashing? if it is steady on, it means it is seeing the pressure as too low or too high. If it is flashing, that means it is seeing a problem with the sensors, and probably doesn't recognize them. What pressure do you have the tires inflated to?
