help, anyone had a malfunction on their tpms on a 06 tl. if so how can i fix it other than taking it to the dealer, thanks

 

We need a bit more information. What is your malfunction?

 

Well, I do agree with CobraGuy - include a description of what's wrong.

But, I can offer the following. Thus far, no one has reported any chronic problems with the TPMS. Actually, I don't recall anyone having any problems other than some folks saying that the readings are less than accurate.

 

What's happening with most, is that they don't have enough air in their tires to start with. When they get that first morning of pretty cold temps, the TMPS tells them they need more air.

 

thanks for responding, the problem is that the tpms is reading my front driver side tire at 56 psi, all of the other three tires read 32. I tooke my pressure guadge and checked it. It read 32 psi just like te others. I read the owners manual and it said that the tpms may be malfunctioning and bring it to the dealer.

 

Mine reads funny from time to time. If I check it a few minutes later it's always been OK.
Has it been reading 56 for a few days consistently?

 

Yikes !!! Eat my own words...

Yep, take it to the dealer (it's broke) if the MID displays either 56 or 58 psi. These are the default values that the MID shows if the MID is not recieving a signal from the sensor.

Just make sure that you have driven a least one or two city blocks first. Sometimes the sensor is sleeping, and it takes a few seconds of rolling to wake-up the sensor before displaying the correct reading on the MID.

 

yes it has, it comes on after we have driven the car for at least 5 minutes or so. it will continuosly stay on until the engine is shut off. wander if i unplugg the battery terminal, if it will resaet it?
