TPMS Illuminated Today

Passenger front tire was at 21 lbs. Located a nice big screw in the PZERO. Was able to repair the flat, but now I don't trust the tire that much. Looks like I will be shopping for 615 rubber now.

At least the stinken sensor really does work.

At least for stock....they should go on at right around 26 or below. They will also go on if too high....but I forget what that is.

Yeah.........they are battery operated, so they will die after awhile. I don't know if you can just replace the battery in them or not.......probably answered somewhere on this site or in the manual, just haven't check yet myself. I know for a fact that mine(2005) will go off as it reaches 26 on the low side.

you pressure drops low enough to a certain point does the TPMS just say lite instead of still blinking?

do all years and models of the 8 come with the TPMS? cuz i was looking at pics of them and on my tire, i have a black vav;e stem, and the tpms stem is metel.....im confused if i have the TPMS or not as i havent had the time to deflate a tire and check if anything goes on.

Where did you buy the car? Was it new when bought? Do you have stock rims on the car? There are a lot of after market rims that will and will not take the TPMS's.
Seems like if you have just a rubber valve stem then you don't have TPMS, but I could be dead wrong.
