Tire Pressure Monitoring Fault
Hey guys,
Just picked up my car from the stealership service center after getting my A/C system checked out. Car was down for no more than a few hours. Upon picking it up, nothing was out of the ordinary. Drove it approximately 30 minutes (10 miles or so in traffic), back to the house.
At arrival, I disconnected the battery and put my Steeda CAI back on, then tightened the negative terminal again. I loaded up my Brenspeed tune and when I turned it on, got the TPMS "Tire Pressure Monitoring Fault" error on my info center. I can turn off the message by doing a reset, but it still shows a ( ! ) light on my panel.
I've tried resetting to stock, didn't work. I've tried resetting the tune, didn't work. I've checked all my tires, air pressure is good. Does anyone have any idea why this may be occuring? And how to fix it?
Thanks!

The sensors may need to be retrained. I'd reload your custom tune and install your CAI, then drive it for a day. If it doesn't go away, stop by the dealership. They can do it in 3 minutes. BTW, they don't need to pop the hood but don't sweat it anyway. My dealership doesn't give a rats azz about my CAI & tune and if they did, we'd be toe-to-toe.

Well, I disconnected the battery for a few minutes, then connected it up again, reloaded tune, and drove around the block.. didn't come back on. Few more starts, still nothing, so fingers are crossed.

That happened to me one time as well. The night I loaded the tune the light came on and I received that warning. The next day it was fine...odd :P

In your case, I'd check my pressure in all your tires and verify it on another gauge. Your intermittent TPMS fault isn't right and you need to eliminate the possibility that you have a tire that's has borderline pressure. You're too far south for temperature change to play a big factor. That's a nuisance you shouldn't be dealing with.
