2008 TPMS check light?

Apparently there is something wrong with my Tire Pressure Monitoring System. I checked my tires and they are all at 32 PSI (as stated on the door) The car's message says to drive for a little bit,stop and turn off the engine they turn the car back on and it should reset it self but i doesn't. Can you guys help me out here? Thanks!

How far did you drive the car? At times it takes quit a while before they reset.

Drove them for atleast 3 hours straight when i was picking them up from the dealer. I read that the sensors could have went into sleep mode?

What do the pressures in the MID say? All above 28 psi?

Any message in the MID or Navi (if you've got navi)?



If the sensor "go to sleep" (never heard that before), I'd guess your MID would say, "58", blank or "---".

Ya, I do have navi. On the MID it just says --. I checked the tire pressure and everything but when i start up the car, the flat tire on the cluster shows up and it says to check TPMS.

Right. So, I'm guessing some kind of TPMS failure. I'll also guess it's the sending unit in the tire, but I don't know how to trouble-shoot and/or replace it.

you either have low battery voltage in one or more sensors. moisture or fix a flat was intruduced into one or more of your tires.
solution to both problem is replacement of the sensors
