TPMS question

[bbroecker37]

Today I was driving home and my TPMS light turn on. I verified all tires are at 37psi when I got home and clicked set on the screen and the light turned off. I did have my tires rotated the other day so that might have been the issue. Is it posible to see the tire pressure on the radio screen or the gauge cluster screen? It would have been useful to know while driving.

No. The car uses difference in wheel speed to detect if a tire is underinflated. There is no direct pressure reading.

Since you rotated the tires there was a big enough difference between the rotated wheels it set off the sensor. Have had that happen to me also, just re-set them and you will be fine

You swapped the tyres around..should have reset the TPMS..

If you take a wheel off & don't put it back on exactly as it was, the TPMS system which uses the ABS sensors, will detect that things are not in balance as they were previously...so flags up this as a tyre deflation warning...its a "dumb" system..
