I had that on my previous Jeep even though tyres were correct pressure. It took a journey, switch off, leaving vehicle off for an hour and on restart message gone. Apparently this can occur on a very cold morning when pressure is borderline?I’ve had to pull over twice on two different cars for TPMS warnings. But when I got out and checked the tyres they were all at the required pressure of cold pump pressure plus 4-5 psi when warm. After restarting the warning had disappeared.
It’s really disconcerting having to finish a journey with an orange light glaring at you from the dash.I had that on my previous Jeep even though tyres were correct pressure.

If the pressure is borderline, after a very cold night, it should warm-up and increase once the car is driven and the TPMS lights go out - at least that's what my VW does - certainly don't need to restart to get rid of the message.I had that on my previous Jeep even though tyres were correct pressure.

Interesting. AIUI most manufacturers detect the rear fog light to decide that a trailer has been connected.First time in 3 years I disconnected the 13 pin from the. VW whilst the engine was running. A lovely printed note appeared on the dash saying O/S caravan rear light failure.
Switched off engine and back on ,All ok. Clever these VW guys.
Not all trailers (older ones) have a rear fog light but all have tail marker lights - and internationally, not all cars have rear fog lights.Interesting. AIUI most manufacturers detect the rear fog light to decide that a trailer has been connected.

My sensors transmit continuously while the car is in motion - at nearly 8 year old and nearly 60,000 miles they're still the originals and show no sign of deterioration although they won't last for everI would think that the sensor does not broadcast to the monitor continuously, but only at intervals otherwise the sensor would need replacing annually depending on mileage hence the disparity.
I had to replace one on our 2005 Jeep in about 2015 and at the time it cost us £90 for one sensor. The others were still working when i sold the Jeep in 2018.My sensors transmit continuously while the car is in motion - at nearly 8 year old and nearly 60,000 miles they're still the originals and show no sign of deterioration although they won't last for ever
Yep, I was towing in Devon a couple of years ago in some terrible weather and the Tiguan warned me that a tail light on the caravan was not working, 20 miles in to the journey. They were checked and working before we set off. Stopped in the first layby and replaced the blown bulb.First time in 3 years I disconnected the 13 pin from the. VW whilst the engine was running.

Not all TPMS systems use active sensors. Some use the ABS sensors to detect a speed differential between wheels to spot a reduced pressure.I would think that the sensor does not broadcast to the monitor continuously, but only at intervals otherwise the sensor would need replacing annually depending on mileage hence the disparity.
