Tire pressue zero
I had new tires installed yesterday - Now the gauge says Left front - 0 Pressure - do no drive over 55 MPH or whatever - I can remove the message but it comes back - even on the HUD it says check gauges - hit reset & it goes away for a few miles - but come back - Rest of the tires read without issue.
So how do I fix this - I let all the air out of the tire & refilled it a couple of times, thinking it might jar something - but still have the problem -
Thanks - tom

It says to press reset to clear any warnings? - Mine won't clear the warning -
I can go to options & get a blank screen & do the rest of the steps but but this doesn't help my problem -
I guess if I can't clear the warnings - I might be screwed?????
I'll go out and mess with it some more - tom

In the context of doing the TPMS reset, you're just clearing the "door ajar" and getting to the blank screen. If going through and resetting all the sensors with a magnet doesn't cause the sensor that's reading 0 PSI to clear and give a good pressure reading, you're going to have to replace the sensor in that wheel, I'm afraid...

Hmm... In that case, I think you need to let the TPMS go to "sleep", and I can't remember how long you have to let the car sit before that happens. Perhaps somebody with an owners manual handy can answer that question.

I just looked in the owners manual Paul - didn't see anything about that - maybe in a shop manual?

Here's another thought. What if they programmed the sensors (or put them in a different position if they didn't program) and one of your tires really has no pressure? Did you check with a gauge to see if your other three tires had pressure? This is assuming runflats.

I went with Stones - non-runflats this time - nope - all the tires have 30 lbs in them - tom

I can get a blank screen & I can get the "Learn Left Front Tire" message to come up - But I can't get there the way Paul did in his video -
Since I "can" get the "Learn Left Front Display" message to come up - should I still be able to re-program regardless of how I got there?
I tried 3 different magnets - they are strong but I don't have a round one like Paul used in his video -
I'll go & try to find one if someone thinks it's worth a shot?

I would think if it beeps, recognizing the magnet/sensor, you would be fine and to continue on around the other tires.You don't need a round magnet, just one that is strong enough, I used a speaker magnet to do mine.
