Touareg :: TPMS And Flat Tyre Warning Message

Recently replaced the front tire pressure monitor sensors from my '04 T V8. Since then the readings are fine with the only exception that I do get the "FLAT TYRE" warning a few minutes after I start my trip and for about 2-3 minutes until it goes off again. Shall I take it back to the dealer for reprogramming, is it something else I should look for...

Touareg :: 2004 V8 - TPMS Indicates A Flat Tyre Often

I have a 2004 V8 with 104,000 miles. For the last two weeks every time I go out in the morning a few miles from home the tire pressure monitor tells me I have a flat tyre. This warning light goes off when I continue to drive. This does not happen every day but I have noted this happen when it rainy or is particularly humid.

Touareg :: 2004 - Flat Tyre Warning On MFD While Accelerating At 50 Mph?

My 2004 V-8 Touareg has 19000 miles. The other day I started receiving "Flat Tyre" warnings on the MFD. The warning only appears when I accellerate to about 50 mph. It disappears when I come to a stop. The air pressure in all tires remains consistent (no leaks) and resetting the TPMS system hasn't corrected the problem. What's causing this.

Touareg :: Defective Wheel On Board And Flat Tyre Messages

I've got an '04 Touareg V8, and i am getting "Defective Wheel on Board" and "Flat Tyre" messages in the MF1 display (with associated annoying-beeping). I am assuming that it's time to replace one or more of the TPMS sensors.

- My understanding is that one cannot simply replace the batteries, the entire sensor needs replacing.

- I assume all 4 need to be replaced as a sat.

Touareg :: TPMS Started Alarming Check Tyre Pressure - All Tires Are At 44 Psi

On Friday (outside temperature 2 degrees), my TPMS started alarming the usual (CHECK TYRE PRESSURE). So I looked at the display and all four "tyres" had an exclamation point. So I took out my $1 tire pressure gauge and all four tires were 44 psi. After re-setting the TPMS, all is back to normal.

I wonder what happened there?

Phaeton :: Flat Tyre Warning Came On

I'm getting an erroneous intermittent "Flat Tyre" warning on one of the 4 corners. Usually only happens after about 10-15 minutes of highway driving. I haven't had the problem on city driving. Pressure is good on the "faulty" corner. After resetting the tire pressures and the TPMS relearning, everything is then fine again . . . only to return the next time I'm on the highway.

Prius V :: Intermittent Vibration / Shuddering Like A Flat Tyre

In the past month I have had 4 instances (approx. once per week) of vehicle vibration/shuddering. The first time I thought for sure I had a flat tire and pulled over immediately and had a look at my tires. All was fine and I continued to drive with no further vibration.

My Prius v ( lowercase v for the Prius v wagon ) has 50,000 kilometers. Has had all required service at our local Toyota dealer. It has always been a pleasure to drive, smooth and quiet. Has only been on paved roads and the tires are in excellent condition.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Does TPMS Flat Tire Warning Go Away On Its Own When Fixed?

Had the first flat, and after it was fixed, screen warning and yellow TPMS light don't go away. Does it reset itself automatically after 'x' ignition cycles, or do we need one of those TPMS tools to reset it? No mention of this in the manual. Need to know before I blame Discount Tire for damaging the sensor. But since they don't charge to fix flats, don't know if I'd be able to get anything from them.

It's a 2011 Sonata Limited.

Phaeton :: TPMS Sensor - Flat Tire Warning Comes At Virtually The Same Time When Drive

I have one TPMS sensor that incorrectly tells me I have a flat when I do not. I presume the sensor is faulty because the wheel was moved to the rear as part of a recent service and the problem moved with the wheel.

What I find peculiar is that the flat tire warning comes at virtually the same time when I drive, about ten or so minutes into the journey, and leaves about five minutes later, usually not to return. Indeed, when I occasionally drive the car to work, I know when the signal will come on, within about .25 mile.

Phaeton :: TPMS Malfunction Message Popping Up

After 3 trouble free years my car had a different TPMS problem, with TPMS FAULT message popping up. The dealer initially changed one or two sensors and then the most updated module. For 1 day there were no problems and while driving on the highway the malfunction warning came up again. Now they are suggesting it could be related to the tires that are not the original ones, but same size and specs and I have been driving on them for a year without any problems.

Phaeton :: TPMS Fault Warning Message Coming On Repeatedly

OK, so I've been getting the "Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Fault" warning message repeatedly for some time now. I had the "G" code TPMS control module installed last week (under extended warranty) thinking that that should fix the fault. However, the fault continues.

Do this fault might be due to dead or dying batteries in the TPMS wheel units (not covered under extended warranty)? If not, what else could it be?

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: TPMS Sensor - Permanent Low Tire Warning Message

So I had a bent wheel and had to replace it and the new one did not have the TPMS sensor so now I get a permanent low tire warning message.

Is there anyway to disable this warning? Alternatively how costly is it to get a new TPMS sensor?

Touareg :: MFI Flashes Warning - Flat Tire?

Last Sunday, my wife and I are driving down the highway. MFI flashes a warning something like "You have a Flat Tire!", then changes to "Faulty Tire" indicator.

Treg seems to be driving fine, I said to wife - probably electrical problem assuming the tire pressure sensor isn't working. Pull over, get out, look at tires, they don't look flat. Get back in, look at tire pressure monitor, which shows left rear tire is flat. Get back out, look at tire closer - hear hissing noise. Sure enough, We've got a nail in the tire.

Put suspension in jack mode, jack it up, put on spare tire, pump it up from air compressor, take tire to get fixed. (Manual talks about removing air compressor and hooking it to battery under hood? which is wrong).

Touareg :: 2004 V6 Will Not Start - Pressure Sensor Low Or Flat

Noticed the fan running a lot louder then normal. Tire pressure sensor keeps saying it is low or that it is flat. checked air in all put air in all and still get that tires are low. Got a check engine light the other day then it went off. Went to start it today and wouldn't start. all lights come on on the dash gauges move except the battery gauge. Jump started it and she started got to the house and it wouldn't start. So i am thinking it is the battery or could it be the ecu? or the alternator? The lights on the dash weren't dimming when trying to start now i get nothing. Never had computers problems with it since i bought it. Been the same battery since it was purchased.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2008 - TPMS Light And Low Tire Pressure Message Popped On

This is the third time my TMPS light and "Low Tire Pressure" message have popped on... I have checked all (4) tires and they are still exactly where I had them inflated several weeks back when I went through this the last time. What the threshold pressure is to set the TMPS warning off? I do run about 10psi lower than the door sticker because the door sticker pressure was too much and wearing the center of my rear tires... I just find it odd and frustrating that there are no problems for a period of time, and then all of a sudden I have to go through and over-inflate the tires for a few miles for the TPMS sensors to reset and clear the light, and then drop back down to where I need them for proper tire wear and it seems OK for weeks, and now here we go again

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2013 F250 - TPMS Light Came On With A Low Tire Warning Message

I have a 2013 F250 and to day the TPMS light came on with a low tire warning message. A little back history, I put new tires on the truck when I bought it and they currently have 9200 miles on them. I didn't like having the tires at the 80psi the tire shop set them at so I lowered them to 62psi right away and haven't had any issues with the low pressure warning going off. Today I was backing into a parking spot and the warning light came on with a low tire message. I checked all the tires and they were right where they should be, but when I got home I added another 5psi to see what would happen and the light never went off after taking it on a 10 mile drive.

My question is, do I have a wheel sensor issue or is something messed up in the computer? I know the door sticker says 75psi front/80rear, but I've been running the tires at 62psi for 9200 miles without trouble so I can't think that the pressure is the culprit. Also, does the spare tire have a sensor in it? In the manual in one paragraph it seemed like it does, but in the next it said that the spare doesn't have one so the light will stay on to remind you to change the spare out.
