road conditions and tire damage such as punctures. Tire pressure
drops about one psi for every 10 degrees F drop in ambient
temperature. Additionally, tires lose as much as 1.5 psi per month as
air escapes the tire and rim naturally.
6. Why there are no pressure and temperature readings on the LCD,
only tire icon flashes? Answer: The monitor will stop showing the
pressure and temperature if it doesn’t get the signal from the sensor.
During normal operation, the monitor scrolls and displays the tires
one by one for approximately 6 seconds. A single audible chirp will
sound if the monitor does not receive one of the sensors data for
more than 30 minutes or if the sensor has a low battery.
7. What happens if I remove a sensor from a wheel? Answer: The
monitor will set off an audible alarm. It will stop if you put the sensor
back on. This is a good way to test the sensor.
8. How do I turn off the “low
-pressure or high-pressure
” warning on
the monitor? Answer: Press any button will stop the audible alarm,
you will need to inflate your tires to the appropriate pressure to stop
the red light and text warning.
9. My TPMS warning light comes on when I start my car, but after a
few minutes of driving, it turns off.
Answer: In cold weather, the sensor reads a lower PSI. As you drive,
the air within your tires warm up, and thus the pressure is also
increased.
10. I just filled my tires with air a few weeks ago, and it is showing me
that I have low pressure. Answer: A change in climate can affect the
readings of the sensor because of the change in pressure of the tire. If
it has only been a short period, you may want to verify the tire
pressure with a gauge to determine if it is a leak or a faulty reading.
