Failed Tire Pressure Sensor, Which one?
Is there a simple way to determine which of the four pressure sensors has failed? My tire pressure is correct, but the idiot light on the DIP is on. Im pretty sure the failure is related to a recent tire change, but that is another story. The bands were pretty corroded on all four rims of my 94.
Any help in isolating this without dismounting the tires would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance. :cheers:

I think you should be able to pull codes if you have a scanner. The only other way is to let air out of one tire at a time to get it below 25psi and drive a short distance to see which one doesn't put up a warning.

The scanner wil not pull the codes unfortunately. Scanners pull codes for the engine (ECM) ...not the chassis items. Unfortunately I found out the hard way as I sat there looking at the light on the dash while the scanner told me all was well. In any case, I think that the owners manuals have that info on which pin to short to get the codes on your dash. Let me see if I can hunt it down.
