Hi. What's the latest on your TPMS lights? Are they still coming on?

The TPMS light comes on every time I start the car after I have let it sit for more than 10 minutes.

The TPMS just doesn't like to be cold.

No biggie.

It goes off when the car warms up.

9-K Rever,

Darn, sorry to hear that. So you've verified the tire pressure is 32 psi cold, you've even taken the car in to the shop for this problem, and it's still happening.

I have two sets of sensors - one on my summer wheels and one on my winter wheels and neither set has ever caused the light to come on - and it gets colder up here than down in Richmond.

Only thing I can think of is having a different dealer look at - but since it goes off after 10 minutes, I imagine that's low priority for you.

regards,
rx8cited
