You can do it yourself. Our simple TMP system is only triggered when tire(s) is low, you're running on a temporary and flat is at the shop being repaired, etc...

They aren't trying to scare you, just informing you. They basically said you can do it without paying the dealor 50+ bucks for 1 hr's work, 15 minutes if you have appropriate jacks.

Anything sold after July of 2007 in Canada should have some sort of TPMS. It may be an indirect system and use the wheel speed sensor. You can have regular valve stems and still have TPMS.

Any Canadians out there want to educate me on the issue?
