  • Winter tyre detected

    I've just bought a 2012 insignia elite, whilst having a new key coded the tech had to disconnect the battery. Since then I have noticed that 'winter tyre detected' is displayed when I first turn on the ignition.

    I've only had the car a few days so it may well have been there beforehand but I think I'd have noticed.

    Any ideas?

    Btw it does not have winter tyres fitted

    Are the tyre valves metal? If not, then you don't have the TPMS sensors on the wheels which is why it is coming up on the dash. If you do have metal valves then it may just be a case of driving the car for 20mins or so and the system will re-learn the tyre pressures

      Ok, I have two metal and two black. Does that mean it's an MOT failure?

        I'm no expert but I would say no it isn't a failure as it's not an error message. It's just acknowledgement that you have a set of tyres on without sensors (although you say you have 2 tyres with sensors maybe the sensors are not working).
