Tire Pressure Light

[frosty5701]

Anybody else having issues with the tire pressure monitoring system. My light came on a couple days ago so I checked the tires right away. All tires looked full with no signs of a flat or leaking air anywhere. I went to the gas station and three of my tires were at 34psi and one was at 33psi. I filled all tires up to the recommeded 35psi and the light went off. I am just wondering if the monitoring system light is one of those sensative ones that will go on when one tire is one psi lower than the rest. Anybody else notice this???

Sounds like a problem to me. Pretty sure the recommended tire pressure is 33.

Our TPMS system is very sensitive usually alerts around 3# variance. I've had a lot of customers with poor reading pencil style tire gauges setting the air pressure inaccurately. I would suggest either getting a good gauge or taking the vehicle to your local dealer and having them gauge the tires accurately, then checking where your gauge reads against that.
Also we've had really good luck out of nitrogen in the tires. Bigger particle less likely to leak out and less affected by the outside temperature.
Hope this helps

tires pressure from oem is 35 front and back. system appears very sensitive. i had my light showing up for a variance of 1 psi on one wheels.
it did go off when the tire warmed up after a few miles and came back when tire was cold until i adjusted it to match the other ones.

Hmm, inside the door jam mine definitely says 33 pounds.

Not only has my TPMS lamp never come on (except when starting car), I have never ------- (are you ready for this??) --- never checked my tire pressure. My dealer filled them with Nitrogen, (free refills when needed) and they check it whenever I go in for service.
I figure if one tire gets low, tghe TPMS lamp will come on.

Also, I use nothing other than the electronic digital pressure gauges with my other car, my GoldWing (when I had it) or with this one when I do check it. I have a bunch of electronic gauges, and all of them read the same pressure, whenever I've checked them against each other.

Aha, I have V6 sedan 18 inch wheels. I didn't see you were talking about a coupe. Sorry.
