Touareg :: Low Pressure Alert On Three Tyres

I get in my T2 this morning only to find a low pressure warning on THREE tires. What is happening?

- they are filled with nitrogen
- they are 3 months old (like the truck)
- it was around 50 degrees last night, 65 when I started it this morning
- i park in an enclosed garage attached to my house
- I drove all the way to campus (15 minutes), the warning remained
- the one tire reporting "normal" actually went from 29.5 to 30.5 on the drive
- i stopped at a gas station and the front were at 31, rear at 38. The door says the front should be 36, rear 44.
- note that the front two tires are the same but only one has a warning
- truck handles fine

Are those psi numbers the same for nitrogen? Can I just add regular air? Why the sudden loss of pressure in three tires? Is it a malfunctioning TPS (TPMS?) already?

Prius (2010-12) :: Brake Loose The Tyres With Moderate Acceleration

My 2010 III, not 3 or Three since it is a 2010, will brake loose the tires when wet with moderate acceleration. If i floor it it will alternate spinning right to left until I back off the throttle. I"m not really complaining since I had an 08 that would not spin a tire and could not be driven in snow. Just wondering if this is normal on a 2010.

I turned right with moderate acceleration on wet pavement today and the tyres broke loose and the car was headed for the curb. Oh the traction control light does come on when this happens but, no brake application or engine speed reduction.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Gas Pressure Being Slightly Low - Check Engine Light On

So I got gas 4 days ago and today the check engine light came on afterwards. Went to auto zone to read code and it had to do with the gas pressure being slightly low (gas cap). So I got gas and resealed the gas cap. Well, it's been about 2 days since then and it hasn't gone off. Does it need to be reset or does it take more time?

Lexus LS 2007+ :: Check Tire Pressure System Error

Suddenly got the "check tire pressure system" error (not the tire pressure one) so I tried the only procedure I could find, turning ignition on and holding reset tpms button below steering colum.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Tire Pressure Monitor Light Went On

My TPM light went on coming into work this morning. I did a visual check, everything looked ok. When I got to work got out the old gauge and they all show about 28 psi. The manual states it can go on due to 'natural causes' but doesn't really go into detail. Will it goes on if any/all tires fall below a certain psi? I'll be going back out later to check again to see if one of the tires is going flat.

Suburban :: 2000 5.3 - Check Oil Pressure Light Was On And Oil Pressure Read 0

Today I started my 2000 Suburban on the coldest morning ever, -14 degrees actual temp. I went inside to let it warm up and about 15 min later I went out to go to work and the check oil pressure light was on and oil pressure read 0. Is this due to extreme cold and thick oil ? Or did something break on start up. I am going to wait until temps are up before I try it again as it was running awful. I am fearing that 15 min warm up may have hurt her.

Lexus GX 2010+ :: Tire Pressure Warning Indicator Light?

the indicator light is on because of the cold morning. All four tires are a few pounds low and I correct.

Back inside the vehicle, the indicator is still on! I get out to check the spare but, cannot because the valve stem is on top! And, my shirt is all dirty!

At home, I lower the spare and check/add air. Raise spare, put tools away. Now I know how to lower the spare.

Our basic Chevy vans at work let you know tire pressure in each of their four tires.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: 450H Fuel Tank Capacity And Tire Pressure

The manual for the 450H does not agree with what I am experiencing.

1. The Manual says the fuel capacity is 17 gal, but with an empty tank the most I can put the tank is around 14 gallons. What is the real capacity, and why does the manual say 1y7 gallons.

2. For my 450H with 19 inch wheels the manual says tire pressure should be 33 psi. However, when delivered from the factory the tire were 39 psi. What should the tire capacity be?

There seems to examples throughout the manual of conflicting information.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Can't Find Tire Pressure Warning System Feature

2013 RX 350. Page 774 of the owner's manual makes it sound like it is: "Your Lexus is equipped with a tire pressure warning system ...", but I do not see any reset switch anywhere on the lower right of the dash (page 21 of the manual). Normally the manual uses asterisks to denote options that may not be on a particular vehicle.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Brake Make A Loud Squeal While Releasing The Pressure

When I press and hold the brake and lightly release the pressure. The brakes would make this loud squeal. This happens when the car on or off. Just found out today that if I have to stop really suddenly, it makes the same noise. I have an rx450h w 42k miles. Any thought?

Lexus GX 2010+ :: Tire Pressure Warning Light Continues To Stay On

The light came on a few days ago, so I checked tires and made sure they were all at the correct PSI. But the tire pressure warning light continues to stay on. I've read other threads about a reset switch in the first generation GX, so is there that same switch in the second generation GX? And if so, where is it? Can't find anything in the manual about it.

I installed an OBD II BT dongle to my 13RX350 computer port (near steering column)all works well, but it seems tire pressure does not register on any of the Android apps I downloaded. How to access the tire pressures?

For those unaware, it's a dongle you plug into the computer port of car, and your phone or tablet, can display nearly all pertinent data on a dashboard that you design for your liking.

Lexus GX 2010+ :: Check Oil Indicator Came On Several Times

We took my wife's '08 ML320 CDI (diesel) to Santa Fe for a ski trip. On the way there my 'Check oil" indicator came on. I put a quart in it and drove on. Sunday came and I was getting ready to drive back home. It was about 23 degrees outside and I had parked the car outside. I checked the oil again and it was in the low side of the dipstick so I put in another quart for the long drive home. On the way home my navigation command console kept rebooting, check oil came on several times, and there was a message telling me to drive straight to the dealer for repairs. That was a scary experience. I kept checking the oil but it was on the high end of the dipstick. I am going to put the car in for service tomorrow as I have extended warranty on it. I believe the sensors in the car was acting up because of extreme cold weathers. I have been monitoring the Xbimmer forums and new X5's are experiencing the similar symptoms. I am so glad my 14 GX will be arriving in a few days. Can't wait to ditch this car.
