TPS Curiosity
I get a psi reading on one TPS that is always 6-7 lbs. low. even after changing wheels which had new sensors in them, the LF reading is still 6-7 lbs. low. any thoughts??? The reading does go up and down as the tires warm and cool. Tired of turning off the DIC notice EVERY TIME I start up.
Thanks, And
Dave

The problem is only with the left front. All the others are very close. I wouldn't care if it wasn't accurate as I use a gauge all the time anyway...just tired of always resetting DIC. And why the same corner if the discrepancy is in the monitor? Maybe a dirty connection in the harness??? As I understand these things, relearning the TPS's won't do anything to the reading, right? thanks, Dave

Check all your tires and see if one matches the reading. Often these sensors are switched (or wheels are switched), so although you think it is the RF, it could be LF that it is actually reading.

Checked all corners and they are all at 30 psi.....
Dave (maybe I have two f**ked up sensors that just happen to be run on the left front??? Two sets of wheels with the same off-readings...

Try reprogramming them with the DIC except place the magnet on the RF wheel first and then the LF. If the readings switch, then it is the sensor. If they are the same, then it is something other than the wheel sensor.
