Tire pressure indicator on dash

[Cajun_Tiger_Hummer]

Tire pressure indicator light came on this morning. I checked the tire pressure on all four tires even spare tire, everything is good. Put a little extra air in for good measure. Light still won't go off. Bad TPMS sensor maybe? Anyone run into this issue?

Do a tpms relearn, the instructions are in the user guide/manual. The spare isn't monitored, only the 4 tires on the ground. After that you will have to drive it for a bit before the light goes off. If that doesn't work then you may have a bad sensor

Have you rotated you tires? If so you have to redo the tpm routine

I get them rotated every couple months. Service TPMS sensor isn't on, Good year always resets it when i have them rotated. It's just my low pressure indicator came on, but my tires aren't low.

Sounds like a bad sensor, they're powered by a non-replaceable watch battery. Hold onto your shorts when you see the price though. List price is about 90.00

Bringing it in to Goodyear tomorrow @ 8am, Figure it will cost $150 to $200 to replace.

Duh!

i forgot I had a bad sender once, and it ordered a new one to fix the error. The sending unit is attached to the valve stem

You can get them on amazon for 30 bucks

Goodyear let me know it was indeed a bad sensor. $120 to do. Like i expected. $40 for the TPMS sensor. $80 min hourly charge.

I hope that fixes it. If it is a bad sensor you normally get the TPMS error on your DIC and not just the low tire icon. I guess one could have been reading low. Good Luck

$80.00, Really? Hate to say it but any reputable tire shop would've charged a mount/remount and balance fee, installed the stem and relearned it for free so long as you bought it there. Must work things different in your area.

Guess so, going rate is $80 an hr in my area and cost of the part ($30 something). After tax it was $123.00. These guys have been doing all my tire installation and up keep for many years. I wouldn't bring it anywhere else even if i could find a cheaper deal. It's not like i was breaking the bank shelling out a clam and a qtr. anyway.
