View Full Version : Tire low PSI light

My low tire PSI indicator light started blinking yesterday. It started blinking then stayed on. Checked the tires... all four were at 32 psi dead nuts on. Checked the spare motorcycle tire and it was low and corrected that...even though I don't think it has a sensor in it.

Today it started blinking again and then stayed on for about 5 minutes and then went out.

Has this happened to anyone else? Do I have a defective sending unit in a tire or a bad receiving unit? Is there a reset for this system?

I really do not recall nailing a pot hole or anything like that..

pump your tires up little more if problem still there have it scanned u may have a bad sensor just replace it , other problem maybe threshold settings if one plays with the settings it will trigger the sensors ...to fix this lower all tires to 25 psi reset sensors with button under the dash then pump tires up back to 32 psi.

from factory threshold is set at 25 to 26 psi so if its messed with and u reset button at 30 psi it will trigger the warning light when it drops by 2 psi ..so try the reset first if that fails you may have a bet sensor that you will need a scanner to see what one is bad.

Does my 3rd Gen 2014 have the same sensor reset as bairjo's 2nd Gen? My light doesn't come on until low 20s PSI wise.

Yes. Same setup.

is it recommended that I wait until it starts acting up again or should I just go ahead and do the reset now?

You can do the reset at anytime
