when resetting the tyre pressure monitoring on my corsa, is it right for the car to toot the horn with press yes to conform the reset ?? Any ideas I don't think my car done this before when I resettled the monitoring
I believe it's for new wheels/tyres - don't think wheel rotation effects it due to where the sensors are - could be wrong though!bobtheslark said:Limey...is the TPMS relearning tool only required after wheel rotation or a new tyre fitted? I haven't had to alter my tyre pressures yet but will need to soon for a long journey fully loaded.
It is handy to tell you if you've picked up a nail or something and got a slow puncture which might not immediately be obvious that the tyre is going flat(or at least losing pressure slowly)mud4fun said:Mine never tooted horn and I've reset mine a few times while trying out different settings. I've changed mine by as much as 7psi and not had issues.
Only issue I had was running my pressures slightly lower than the load setting which caused a stupid warning on dash. Now I run my load setting as light but actual tyre pressures as eco I haven't had a warning go off in 5K miles
I don't need a stupid computer to tell me if I have a flat as I can feel that myself. I also check my tyres before setting off anyway, always have done.
You almost don't notice the toots, I didn't the first time. What are you classing as resetting?mud4fun said:Mine never tooted horn and I've reset mine a few times while trying out different settings. I've changed mine by as much as 7psi and not had issues.

Ooh, i didnt realise it errored on changing that setting - i guess it depends on what your pressures are to start with?mud4fun said:Limey, sorry I was talking about load setting changes. If you change the load setting without changing tyre pressures it can throw a warning depending on what load setting you pick and what your pressures are.
That's good to know. I'm thinking of increasing my fronts but have held off due to the TPMS. Mine currently run at 32-34 all round - they seemed to have evened out :lol: But i suspect my fronts could do with inflating to improve mpgmud4fun said:Hehe, yes it seems to trigger warning when tyres are 3-4psi down on the load setting. So if your tyres are at 30psi and you change load setting to eco you get a warning within a few minutes. It doesn't warn for over pressure though as I changed load setting to light while tyres still at 37psi and no warning - bliss![]()
It is normal.skyblue1969 said:I recently set my tyres to 35 front and 34 rear but on the next cold start all four were reading differently wondering what the reason for this is
"Each TPMS sensor has a unique identification code. The identification code must be matched to a new wheel position after rotating the wheels or exchanging the complete wheel set and if one or more TPMS sensors were replaced. The TPMS sensor matching process should also be performed after replacing a spare wheel with a road wheel containing the TPMS sensor."
