SOURCE: TPMS error light on, dash shows no readings

It has to be done at the dealer with the handheld computer. They have to access the Body Control Module and then go around to each tire with a unit that looks like a garage door opener and hold it on the tire below each valve stem. It should only take like 15 minutes to do.

SOURCE: New tire installed at Discount Tire and a "tpms

The "Rebuild Kit" is just a set of seals, new mounting nut and sometimes, a new valve cap. The sensor must be removed to dismount the tire from the rim without breaking the sensor. (The valve stem is actually part of the sensor - this is why you shouldn't have a charge for "Valve Stem" on your bill.) Installing the sensor with new seals, nut, and valve cap did not cause your light to come on. Breaking the sensor during removal or installation could cause it. Over-inflating the tires can also cause the light to come on in some vehicles. Any way you look at it, they should fix the problem and reset your TPMS Computer to get the light turned off without any argument unless the problem is being caused by a sensor on a wheel other than the one that was replaced. (In this case, it would be pure coincidence that the sensor decided to give up the ghost immediately after the other tire was replaced...not real likely, but I've had similar things happen to cars I've worked on.)

Testimonial: "Answer was quick, relevant, supported with reasonable technical information and will be very good ground for me to stand on at the repair center."

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the site. You have two sensors. The front one does most of the work. The back one is for exhaust. Your code is referring to the back sensor. Also, try checking the seal on your gas cap if you are getting smog. In order to erase your codes, erase them on the computer. With this vehicle, it usually takes a hundred or so miles to erase code for good. Be sure to drive at different speeds, particularly in cruise control. A few miles at 55, a few at 65. I wasn't sure if you were aware of that. I have seen some not reset for 1500 miles. If you have the time and money, go ahead and change them both. The code will still be on there until the miles are driven. It is normal for this car.

How do I reset TPMS light focus 14

Use this if you're installing winter wheels/tires that have sensors already installed, or even if you are just doing a tire rotation. Not sure if this has been posted before. I tried searching but didn't see it posted anywhere. No need to go and buy the TPMS learning tool.

1) Make sure your tiresare inflated to the recommended psi. Mine is 40psi.

2) Turn ignition to the on position. If you have a push button start, push the start button without pressing the brake pedal.

3) Push the hazard light button 6 times. The horn should honk and you should see "Train left front tire" in the LCD display between the tach and speedo.

4) Release air pressure in the front left tireuntil you hear the horn honk. The LCD display should now read "Train right front tire".

5) Release air pressure in the right front tire until you hear the horn honk.

6) Repeat for the the right rear tire, and then the left rear tire.

7) You should now see "Training Complete" in the LCD display.

8) Fill your tiresback up to the recommended pressure.

Enjoy!

My front wheel sensor shows low tire pressure, but it is fine. Is there a reset for that?

If its reading low and the tire pressure is correct there is a problem with that sensor. Typically they need to be replaced in order to correct the problem. A TPMS tool capable of displaying TPMS sensor data would confirm the bad reading.

They display the tire pressure as a convenience. They don't have to display the pressures and many makes/models do not.

The level of sophistication with these systems is slowly improving. Many newer models will automatically know where the tire is and display it correctly. Unfortunately yours need to be relearned manually after every tire rotation which is very common with earlier systems. It is assumed that this is done after every tire rotation which would then make the displayed tire locations correct.

If you are confident that the correct tire location is being displayed than I wouldn't see any issue with replacing that sensor. If you are not confident the correct tire location is being displayed than it wouldn't be a bad idea to do a relearn procedure.

The TPMS matching process is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON/RUN with the
engine off.
3. Press and hold the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter's LOCK and UNLOCK buttons, at the
same time, for about five seconds to start the TPMS
learn mode. The horn sounds twice indicating the
TPMS receiver is ready and in learn mode.
4. Start with the driver side front tire. The driver side
front turn signal also comes on to indicate that
corner's sensor is ready to be learned.
5. Remove the valve cap from the tire's valve
stem. Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing
or decreasing the tire's air pressure for about
eight seconds. The horn chirp, can take up to
30 seconds to sound. It chirps one time and then
all the turn signals flash one time to confirm the
sensor identification code has been matched to
the tire/wheel position.
6. The passenger side front turn signal comes on to
indicate that corner sensor is ready to be learned.
Proceed to the passenger side front tire and
repeat the procedure in Step 5.
7. The passenger side rear turn signal comes on to
indicate that corner sensor is ready to be learned.
Proceed to the passenger side rear tire and
repeat the procedure in Step 5.
8. The driver side rear turn signal comes on to
indicate that corner sensor is ready to be learned.
Proceed to the driver side rear tire, and repeat
the procedure in Step 5.
9. After hearing the single horn chirp for the driver
side rear tire, two additional horn chirps sound
to indicate the tire learning process is done.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK/OFF.
If no tires are learned after entering the TPMS learn
mode, or if communication with the receiver stops, or
if the time limit has expired, turn the ignition switch to
LOCK/OFF and start over beginning with Step 2.
10. Set all four tires to the recommended air pressure
level as indicated on the Tire and Loading
Information label.
11. Put the valve caps back on the valve stems.

This info can also be found on page 5-66 of your owners manual.

Recently took my 2008 Malibu to dealer for oil change. While there, tech noticed one tire not reading pressure. He attempted to reset that one tpms for me and now all four do not work. They are telling...

No repair shop or dealer, should perform any service without,
at least your verbal authorization.

So do not let, especially a dealer, play you.

People put themselves into the ring, for the dog
and pony show

I have never gone to a dealer in 47 years,because of what
you experienced,I do all my own work

I do however, purchase new vehicles, I only order from the factory,
and use the warrantee at the dealership,then I have a complete
set of factory manuals, for all my vehicles.

Each vehicle wheel has it's own TPMS Sensor, with it's proper
frequency. The internal batteries are suppost to last 8 years,maybe!

I would go to a local tire only store, for wheel service.

Your story is why I am on this site,to help others on here,
because it boils my blood. I could go on forever, with 50
years of auto repair tension.

That said,I owned a trans repair shop, and it wasn't like
you experienced. Not good dealing with the public,something
I didn't expect, but never treated people unfairly, as Dealers do.

You should be able to read your owners manual to do your Key FOB

If you had no check light on then,your tire monitor was receiving
each tires position on your vehicle
Each wheel is independent but they may have referenced some
reporting to the vehicles systems, that wasn't understood in their
explaination

The charging you for anything, is done by the service adviser out front
You seldom get to talk to a tech,and by the way, check your in and out
mileage,some dealers never road test, even for a drivability issues,
ford and lincoln,they follow some dumb factory protocol, in the service
bay. Ever try to get a COP Ignition Coil to miss, starring at the vehicle
will it idles, and you have coffee. I have fixed more lincoln ls issues
than a dealer ever heard of.
