TPMS General Question

[huey45]

Hi Guys

Recently I had to replace the 245x45x18 Rear Tyres on my 2016 Siggy Design Nav, which was done by local Tyrespot
at the time and I asked if they could put on the Front to replace the part worn ones, the guy explained it
might upset the system as they are each linked to it, I thought tyre pressure sensors just reported if
tyres were under pressure or over pressure, can anybody confirm if they are axle related or
is the guy just waffling as he did not want to swap them around, opinions please ??

He's talking utter tripe.

If the battery dies in one and you need to replace it.....you replace it for either a brand new one or 2nd hand....you then drive for a few miles at 30mph or over and the sensor kicks into life and re teaches itself.

He just didn't want to do it.

Yeah you can move your wheels around the car no problem. After a few minutes of driving the system relearns the positions.

Hi marko301

Hello Keith---seems I was right in thinking the same as the lads on here----unfortunately there is a few banana's working at tyre spot and haven't got a clue---the like's of kwick-shite and halfrauds are even worse-----Dave

Yes, won't display pressures.

It'll probably give you an error on your dash. I'm pretty sure it's an MOT failure if you have TPMS and it isn't working.

Registered after Jan 1st 2012.TPMS mot fail if not working.

He bought these.....

Work perfectly....same set up as genuine ones.

[Ianbristol]

Did they have to be programmed

Did they have to be programmed

As stated in the previous post...fit them and they teach themselves.
U do nothing except get them fitted.

Good find, price is good.
