Tire Pressure Sensor
Anyone else having issues with theirs? Mine have been reset once already. Seems like they are overly sensitive and once you pressure goes below the threshold, even if you fill your tires back up, the light never turns off.
TPS....they work!
Your tires shouldn't be losing pressure! Is it possible the issue is with your
tires and not the TPS? They're just letting you know what's going on with
your tires. Run 35 to 37 PSI in your tires and see how long it takes for the
TPS to come on. Mine doesn't change 1 LB in 90 days with my Michelins.

Yeah I've done that, inflated them up, drove for a bit over the 15mph limit and nada.
Brought it to the dealer, they did the same thing, and nada. They had to electronically reset them.
Guess I may have some bad sensors.

I just had mine swapped to my new wheels on saturday and the light has not come on yet. I thought when swapping, they needed a recalibration at the dealer but no light has shown. Makes me wonder if they are even working
oh the work, but its the weirdest warning light youll ever see for a tire icon. crazy japanese

Think ill pass on the deflate for now. I have been looking at them carefully when I get in and out of the car, paranoid I guess. They were actually looking good and shiny until all the rain today

This is the worst TPMS i have ever seen. It serves no useful purpose. If the light comes on, what does that mean? which tire is flat?
I had to take mine in last week to be reset. It kept coming on even though my tires were no less than 32psi during the last of the cold mornings. It wouldn't reset normally so the dealer had to reset it. I've had problems for the last 6 months.

Amusingly, they tried to tell me the green metal valve caps (came with the car, to denote Nitrogen in the tires - I kinda like them) were causing the problem. After I expressed some mild skepticism, they stopped
