Tire pressure sensor
I have been getting a light and "gong" for tire pressure. I had this looked at and re-calibrated by the dealer. No change. It goes on and off and is annoying. Due to the fact that I have a US vehicle in Canada I don't get warranty. Can I disconnect the system? can I trouble shoot and figure out which tire sensor in not working and fix it myself?
Thanks for any advice.

Re: Tire pressure sensor
I wouldnt disconnect it if I were you. It dings once and then after a few miles the message goes away yes?
I used to get this in cold weather. I added air to the tires..perhaps 38 lbs or so, and the message went away on cold mornings.

Re: Tire pressure sensor
Did you change tires or rims to effect the tpm sensors.
Did you do a tire rotation and not reset the system?
Either way...
You may want to reset TPM system anyway. It only takes about 5 to 10 minutes at the service station with a good air pump and your H3 service manual.
Disconnection of it not recommended.
Good Luck!

I wouldn;t disconnect either...but if I could find that little "ding" I would take a hammer to it!!!!
Mine does it every morning and I had mine set to a "lower psi" before the "ding" goes off. It still fricken does it, but goes away after a few minutes of driving.

Re: Tire pressure sensor
I have the same thing happening. Just wondering why not dissconnect it? If your tires are low you should spot it and not need a sensor.
