Tire warning light

ak335 · 08-29-2008, 06:44 PM

Hey guys, it looks as if my tire warning light came on, i looked in the manual and it say the tire is flat or lost alot of pressure.i came to look at the tires and the look and feel good. what could it be? thanks

Check the air pressure in your tires. One or more may be below the recommended pressure and you just have to put more air in.

I would use a tire pressure gauge just to be sure. RFTs look ok even when they are low. you could check for any foreign objects in the tires. If every thing checks out I would reset the tpms. I usually add 2 or 3 lbs of air over the recommended inflation psi.

Looking at the tires won't do jack. Get your self a $1.99 gauge from walmart and check the pressure.

What is the recommended tire pressure in case this happens to any of us???

belch9 · 08-29-2008, 06:58 PM

It's on the sticker in the door - I think about 31 or 32 psi in front, 35 or 36 psi in rear.

It will vary depending on the size of your tires. If you still have the stock tires check the door. I know the 16" rim tires are 32 front and 36 rear.

i checked the pressure and there 30 front 32 rear.... maybe just a mistake? lol

what you guys think

Mine went off at 31 PSI
Put some air into it
Make sure it's not leaking

Arustik1 · 08-29-2008, 08:54 PM

That always happens....especially when the temps drop a lil...just put some more air in it maaannnnn!

Does the car's computer (E90, particularly with iDrive) tell you the actual pressure (in PSI) in each tire?

Get this gauge, it's pricey but accurate and solid:
