Low Tire Pressure Sensor Question
I have just put a new set of wheels and tires (without the pressure sensors) on my 94. I have read that the LTPWS light will come on after approx. 200 miles. Is the mileage cumulative, ie, 100 miles one day + 75 miles the next day + 30 miles the third day = over 200 miles and light comes on, or do you have to drive it over 200 miles at one time, ie, a 225 mile trip without stopping? I had a C5, and the light came on after 20 minutes of continuous driving.

I haven't experienced your Year, but every vehicle I've worked on with an LTPWS - foreign or domestic - is going to light up the first time the receiver doesn't get a signal. So, I would expect yours to have a light showing and a code stored the minute you drove it - assuming you got above 25 mph. Can only imagine the hissy fit the NHTSA would have if it didn't.
