Default Tire Presure sensor?

Ok, I just recently bought at 2005 tC i just had my tires rotated and soon their after my tire pressure gage came on. I checked the air and made sure it was right and then held the reset switch like the manual says. It keeps coming back on is their anything they could of nocked loose that i can check before i take it to the dealer?

Thanks

Jake

If it keeps coming back on after you have reset it, have you made sure you dont have a leak in one of your tires? I would just take it to the dealer and let them deal with it!

yeah sorry i couldnt help more! I am not familiar with the 2005-06 model's pressure sensors, I have an 07 so they are IN the wheels, kinda makes for a hassle when you put the shiny summer wheels on!

Your sensor needs to be reset. No need to take it to the Dealer. The reset button is in your glove compartment. I have 19's and it comes in handy when a tire is going low. It can recognize a problem even with 19's because when you reset it, your basically telling the ECU LOOK! This is the tire pressure you are supposed to be running! So no need to waist your time man! Press that little reset button for about 3 to 5 seconds and your light will flash in your guage cluster. Also though, you have to be stopped to reset it.

Ok, I finaly called the dealer and apparently they leave half of the instructions out of the manual. So when you press it the first time it goes off then you have to press it again to get it to blink 3 times and then let off the button....PROBLEM SOLVED!!! Thanks
