Anyone know what this message means. I just took the car out for a drive and could not obtain tire pressure readings in any sensor. 15-minutes leater the Service Tire Mon. Sys. message came on the DIC. I looked in the owner's manual and it says to take the car to the dealer. Anyone know what magic they will perform to fix this? P.S. The car just turned 3-years-old this week. Counting the delivery date, I have not had it for 3 years yet. Warranty issue???

 

Well, since the dealer is closed tomorrow, I will try the magnet trick on the Tech Tips page. Does anyone know if these sensor batteries go dead in only 3-years?

 

Well the magnet trick worked. I used a magnet from a 4" speaker. I just filled up the tires so they each read 33 PSI on the DIC.

Here it is from Tech Tips
1) Turn ignition on
2) Press "Reset" button in order to clear any IPC display warning messages
3) Press and release the "Options" button on the DIC to scroll through the
display options until the IPC display is blank
4) Press and hold the DIC "Reset" button for 3 seconds
5) Press the "Options" button again until TIRE TRAINING message appears
6) Press "Reset" button until the IPC "Learn L Front Tire" message appears in
order to begin the programming
7) Install the J41760 Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) System Programming Tool
(large magnet will do) over the left front valve stem
8) The horn will sound, indicating the left front TPM sensor is programmed
(if this takes more than 15 seconds, pull magnet back and try again, it will
give you three tries. Then you must start over)
9) When the horn sounds, proceed to program the next TPM sensor in the
following order as directed by the IPC messages:
-Learn R Front Tire
-Learn R Rear Tire
-Learn L Rear Tire
Programming can be canceled by turning ignition off, waiting 2 minutes with
no sensors being learned, finishing all 4 wheels or through the DIC.
If the programming is canceled with less than 4 sensors learned, it will only
accept the codes programmed up to that point.

:D

 

:cheers: usually does the trick just keep an eye on them if they keep going out it may indicate another problem. 33 cold is a bit high for runflats, do a search on this forum many say that leads to premature wear on the middle of the tires. I keep mine atound 30 hot.
