I changed out my factory tires for winter tires using
Tire Rack and local installer. Long story made somewhat shorter: the installer could never get
TPMS warning lights to go out even though the
TPMS was reading properly. When I switched back to summer tires, warning lights were still on. The installer indicated that his
TPMS software was probably not up to date and that only Porsche could fix this. The dealership charged $60 to reset.
So am I doomed to run to dealer every time I change tires?

TPMS - The Tire Pressure Monitoring System provides early warning of any drop in pressure by continuously monitoring the pressure in each tire and alerting you in the onboard computer display in the event of a pressure deficiency. It communicates the exact pressure of each tire and/or their deviation from ideal pressure. This does away with the need for regular air pressure checks at the service station, which often prove highly inconvenient.
See the TPMS FAQ for more info. |
