Tire Pressure Sensor.....

[MrClean]

At what pressure delta should these things come on? Today I checked the pressure in my tires, and they were all low...the sticker on the door says 32 psi cold front and back, and the 4 ranged from 26 to 27...I have stock rims tires (18" bullits).

Another question: if one of the sensor's fails, I assume the receiving unit on the car will report a problem of some sort...probably the same warning as if a tire were low (beyond the acceptable parameters), correct?

The pressure needs to go below 20 to trigger. Try it.

If the sensor fails, it'll trigger the same warning light in dash... (otherwise I'd rip them out...)

Really... Mine came on when one tire went down to 25psi and all the others were at 35. I have my flat fixed and they told me that I didn't have sensors on my wheels that mine was ran by the abs. not sure if I believe it or not but thats what the tire shop told me.
