it says low tire pressure front left and rear left midway going to work. i turned the car off to restart at the message came up right away. checked tire pressure of all 4 tires and none have lost air? what could it be?

You didn't mention year of car, and if tires or sensors are original or not. Possible the batteries in the sensors are getting weak, and may be time to replace them, the sensors themselves.

It could be a sensor going bad, or the sensors is reading lower than the actual tire pressure. Both have happened to me in the past.
You can either reprogramm the sensors and hope that solves it, or the sensor that reads low may have to be replaced.
What year is your car? My sensors were replaced at the 10 year period and were still working Ok. I replaced with 4 new OEM sensors, and 2 years later, one of them took a dump. I had to buy 1 new sensor. All is good now.

Good Luck.

2009 base. im not sure if original or not as it was not disclosed when buying the car. how much are sensors btw

I keep getting a left front low pressure warning on my 2011. Tire pressure always correct when checked. Assumed it is the sensor causing the problem.

Did you forget what year car you have? In the first post in this other thread you mention you have a 2008. Come on Speedy08, you are slipping up.

There's a better than good chance that the sensors are the original ones. Not many owners change out the sensors with tire changes, unless they are about 10 years old.

I went through 4 tire changes before also changing out the sensors at approx 87K miles of driving.
I'd be looking at new sensors with your next tire change, or sooner if I were you.

good luck

I wouldn't call early 30's old.

gayvettelover

im 44... wish i was early 30s

TorchRedFred

Oh, so that explains why you forgot what year your car is.

I wish I was 44.

There time for replacement, cause they will be coming and going, and when they show XXXX there dead.

I replaced all four, when one started to give me false reading, from time to time.

Good luck, start shopping for new one's!

My silly question, what pressure are you calling correct?

LS WON

I find using the tire pressure gauge to be more accurate. Just used to checking tire pressures the old fashion way.
What happens if you just let the TPMS sensors die? Get XXX on display? Will that affect anything else?

Eritosthenes

OK. I'm 70, so that should qualify as an old man.

The batteries in C6 tire pressure monitoring sensors have an expected average lifetime of approximately 10 years, so if you have a 2009 they're due for changeout.

If you will PM me I'll send you the URL for a non-CF vendor who sells excellent 3rd party TPM sensors for $109.80 (+ shipping) for a set of four in chrome. If you want black, add $20. I've been using two sets of four of these TPM sensors for three years in my summer and winter tire+wheel sets. They register and run perfectly.

Between you, me, and the OP, I don't think any of us is 44. I'm probably closest at 45. It's hard to believe anything the OP says. Since I accused him of being Speedy08, he has since changed his car to an 09.
