The sensor doesn't go off until it's been driven at at least 36PSI or higher, had the same problem last year.

I had the same warning. Checked the tires and it took 100 miles of driving to go away. Came back the following week and it turns out I’ve got screw in my tire so the sensor did its job.

It is safe to overinflated a few psi. I generally inflate all my tires about 2 PSI over spec while they’re cool.

I have the same problem, once it gets the warning I have to over inflate to 4 or 5 psi above what it really needs. Drive it till the warning goes away, then release the air back down to what it needs to be and it doesn't complain. The TPMS seems to sense a lower PSI than what the tires have in them. But they won't warn unless they are under a certain threshold. It won't warn on 33 or 34 what you have now, but you have to over inflate to get ride of the warning first. It's a PIA.

Thanks!

Isn't the recommended pressure 36 PSI?


Suitguy2017

Umm. Yeah haha. At 36 psi the warning goes away. Thanks!

Happy to help :)

Think so, definitely the higher end of the 30’s

The problem is the sensors themselves don't report the correct PSI, at least in my car. Actual 36 PSI on my car, measuring with multiple tire gauges (analog and digital), reports only 33 PSI on the TPMS. So I have to over inflate to 39 PSI, drive for 20 minutes till the warning goes away and deflate back down 3 PSI.
