that has nothing to do with the re-calibration of the sensors.

If it shows fault it is not pressure, it is the system, it happened to me the first day I had my car too, it was because the dealer swapped my fan blades for the bullitts

The dealer didnt even open the hood to recalibrate it and it took about 5 minutes

They just turn the key a couple of times and walk around the car with a small device which learns the system. The tech has to wait for a signal and then goes to the next tire.
As stated above, 5 minutes, no hood popping or tune erasing

ORIGINAL: Chris07GT

Picked up my 07 GT last night. On the way, I stopped to show the car to some family members. When I started it up, I got the "Tire Pressure Monitor Fault" error. It's still there this morning. I really don't want to have to go back to the dealership with it, since it's like 30 miles away. Is there anything I can do about this (other than press reset everytime I start the car)?

Same error...Two hours after I picked up my brand new car. I had to take it back to the dealership after one week to see if it would go away - Tire pressure set to 40psi from the dealership (18" Polished Aluminum Bullits). Irelieved thetire pressure to 33psi, and that's why I waited the week before having the dealership diagnose the issue.

Dealership said one of my TPM's was broken, and they'd have to order the part. When I picked up my car however, I had a gouge in both the front wheelson the lip of the rims(Most likely from the tire mounting machine). One week later, the dealership replaced/fixed the TPM and replaced both my front wheels. Everything is fine now.

Yeah, it has made me wish on multiple occasions that I had taken the good deal on the "leftover" white 06 instead.[&:]

RE: Tire pressure monitor fault (on car I've had for a day)

When I purchased my 07 GT a few months ago, I had the same problem with it. I took it back in the next day and they were able to re-calibrate the sensors and I haven't had the problem since. It didn't take them terribly long either, something like 30 minutes and I was out of there. Worth doing, hitting that reset button ever time you get in the car gets tedious.

Gratz on your purchase too =)
