[jwilson]

Tire Pressure Monitor ?

Thanks

Yup tire needs air or monitor needs new battery

Try doing the relearn procedure as described in your Owner's Manual before you do anything while making sure all 4 of your tires on the ground have pressure sensors. Good Luck.

I know for me it's one of my sensors has gone bad and needs to be replaced. Could be that also

Are the sensors hard to replace?... My serv tpm is popping up on me

My aftermarket rims don't have sensors. I get the message when I start the truck. I push the odometer stick to clear it. It pops on again 5-10min later. I push the stick again and it doesn't come back on. I have a set of oem wheels to put 35s on in the spring and I don't plan on putting sensors in them either. They are expensive and troublesome. My work truck (f-350) has had continous tpms issues. It's got less than 20k miles and has had 2 of the sensors replaced already. They claim its the aftermarket rims/tires on the truck. It has narrow rims and tires to ride on railroad tracks. But that shouldnt make a difference. Pressure is pressure in any style rim.

I haven't had any issues with my TPMS. 6.5 years and each of them is still going strong, though I suspect that they could be near end of life soon. That's a long time for those batteries.

Note that 08 and newer only came with four TPMS; earlier models had five, including the one in the spare. It's easy to check whether a tire has the sensor as it will be a metal valve stem if equipped with TPMS, rubber without. If one of the four tires on the ground has a rubber valve stem you'll get that error.

As 3rd H3 said, do a relearn procedure as stated in your owner's manual. The BCM only recognizes four tires at a time so if the spare got rotated in and the relearn was not done, the BCM will usually only see three tires and will give you the error. (The TPMS sensor goes into sleep mode when not in use - I don't know if it is rotation or simply movement that wakes it up.)

If that doesn't work, take it to a tire shop and they can test each one and tell if any of them are bad.

To replace them, the tire must be dismounted and the sensor is removed from inside the rim.

Ditto to everything that alrock said. I am on my 3rd H3 and have never had a problem. I will replace them when they get to the end of their life.

I had 2 bad ones so, I had them take out the good ones...For me, not needed and just push the reset and its gone. Up here in the mtns, the temp is diffrent all day. So even w/ all 4 workin, it still comes up until you drive and it all warms up...Somethin to think about, thats all...

Pressure is pressure, but the radio waves from the TPMS have a hard time getting through the reinforced sidewalls used on a hi-rail vehicle. It's even worse if your F350 uses the sensors that mount to the inside of the wheel.

I just started getting the TPMS light on my 07 when it gets down to freezing. Above freezing its good, I think I'm at the end of the bettery life.

 

[Panzer07]

I also been getting the tpms light on...with this and the old tires...Specially When At Highway Speeds After 40-50 min of driving at a steady speed of 70-75...Negev I change my tires they told me one sensor was bad and I was replace it....and now the light still comes up every now and then...like I said usually it only comes on at highway speed or hot days...I keep my tires at 35-40 psi and at either psi I still get the light on.

 

[telemike]

I get that message at random times. Can go days or weeks with no light, Somedays it's on & off during the same trip. Had the rest done several times to no luck. Hate the darn things.

That's makes sense. I've been to the ford dealer 2 or 3 times trying to resolve it and they've never been able to explain it.

Mine does the same in the cold weather after a few miles the warning message goes away..

Ever since I got my new tires put on I have been getting the SVC TPM light on my dash. Like an idiot I forgot to tell them my tires had the TPM on them. Does that mean they were trashed along with my old tires or that they just weren't set up with the new ones? How do I see if they are still there? Sorry if these are stupid questions.

 

[Kyle]

i had a bad one on my h3, i took it over to discount tire and the guy was going to hook me up with a new one installed for 50$ might want to try a chain tire place

 

[SuperBuickGuy]

I have an intermittent TPM message. Problem is unless it's failing, it won't throw a code.... good lord I hate those systems.... maybe it's time to spoof them and go without.

They probably just need re learned. The procedure is in the owners manual. You know they are still there if your valve stems are silver.
