My
TPMS system is very eccentric. When it says I have low pressure in one tire (-4 ) it is infact not lower. It likes to relearn often. It will have learned, then forgot it learned and then wants to relearn. Often I start the car and it shows blanks, so I don't know if I have a flat or not, so I end up using my tire guage. I admit the
TPMS system has made me check my pressures many more times than I normally would (not necessarily bad), but consumes time, and introduces grime into the equation. ON the hands, on my pants when I kneel down, or brush my car when it is dusty.
I am not a big fan of my
TPMS. Recently I decided to pump up the pressures to 35-36 front, 39-40 rear (stone cold), (stock 19s Michelins PS2s) and things have stayed stable now for a few weeks. For such a young circuit I did not expect this degree of Alzheimers in my circuits.
Before
TPMS I use to routinely check my tires at the gas station every other fillup. Now the air hoses are never at the gas pumps, usually off somewhere else at the station, and cost money to operate. Half the time they don't work, and many times I would feed the beast quarters, and after checking and filling my 3rd tire, it would shut off. So I forget these damn things now. I usually end up digging out my electric driven 12 Volt air pump, requiring my extension cord, 12 volt/110 volt cigarette adapter/ converter, and air guage, about every month or so , or more if needed based on Senior
TPMS' mood.

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.
