larrylu Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Probably everyone here but me knows this but.....just in case someone else does not, this is what I just learned. The spare (I don't have a PP) has a sensor and will cause a fault reading if it gets below 35 lbs. I guess I forgot to check the spare when doing the others, and when I got the fault I stopped ASAP and checked all four corners and they were right where I set them. A few days later at exactly the same stretch of road, I got another fault. A call to my service manager and I got the reminder to check the spare. Sure enough it was down from 60 lbs. to 35 lbs. OOPS! mjhpadi and gregoire 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucelinc Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Wow! I did not know that! I guess I assumed that there was a sensor in the spare but I thought it would need to be mounted on the hub before it would send any info. Once again, I have learned something. Thanks Larry!

83racecrew Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 When I read this, I thought your Throttle Position Sensor failed. TPMS sensor monitors the tire pressure PS: This is just my OCD brain making a post and it completely irrelevant. Have a great Friday! PPS: Good tip though, thanks.
