TPMS - It does nothing.



It's been like that for a long time now.

I guess drivers can't be assed to fill up their tires no matter how much the car beeps at them..

that is painful to see. Reminds me of a friend of a friend who thought the oil light meant put some oil in it when it is convenient...

Dont forget the over heat light means to add water and the brake light means to add brake fluid.

When I had that light I went to advance auto and they just knew they couldnt get the part, referred me to the dealer. Found out from a 3rd party tire store I had 2 bad sensors. Got 4 "used" ones from ebay for the price of 1 at the dealer.

Dealer couldnt program, went back to tire store. Said all 4 had full battery or charge and reprogrammed the car.

We sell tpms sensors but can't program them. I'd be happy if tpms didn't exist.

The owner could just look at the tyre ? Eyes 1.0 seems superior.
