Re: Tire (Air) Pressure Problem - Please help
No. When my light came on back in the summer for the very first time (car was delivered in April).
I figured I had some sort of tire problem. Sure enough, I had a nail in one of the tires with a very slow leak. Got it fixed and everything was fine until the colder early mornings and then the TPM light came on again. I checked the pressure in all tires and they were the same (normal) and then I found that the light would go out later in the day when the temp warmed up. That led me to believe that it was the temp condition causing light to come on in morning. This occurred a couple of times. I added two-three lbs. in each tire and the light never came on again. I now have the car put away in storage as of Nov. 1 so I don't know what the real cold temps would do.
I don't know why you have to reset the TPM if all your doing is adding a little air above the norm
to each tire. It seems to me that you may have a problem with one or more sensors and therefore the dealer should not be charging you for anything and in fact if this is proven, they should reimburse you for any previous charges.
Does that make sense?
I agree that the "rock and a hard place" is convincing the dealer to find the real problem with a minimal number of visits.
