Title: Car faults- TPMS malfunction Post by: 4D on Friday, July 22, 2022, 13:21:59 The wife's car has had this pop up on her car display. Basically the low tyre pressure warning has come up, tyre pressures are fine, I have reset the TPMS but the message comes back again. I have read that it may be related to an ABS module which is silly money. Anyone had their TPMS cause a problem? I'm hoping that it's down to a flat battery in one of the tpms sensors.

Usually an easy quick fix but at worst probably a new sensor which doesnt cost much and is pretty much plug and play with a couple of screws. Title: Re: Car faults- TPMS malfunction Post by: Sippo on Friday, August 26, 2022, 08:12:40 Can you run an OBD scan? Any fault codes?
