Getting a tire pressure alert even though it is what it should be.

[plsiskin@gmail]

The pressure recommended for my 2016 Model S 75 is 45psi. It was low on one tire but I adjusted and verified yet I am still seeing the yellow alert and when I open the door the PSI is blank. I could reset the TPMS but wanted to see what y'all think.

PSI values only appear when the car is moving.The age of your car may indicate that the sensors may need to be replaced. The batteries only last a few years.

Yep, sounds like the in-tire sensor is dead. They should last about 5 years, so getting 6 years out of them is better than average.

You can take the car to Discount Tire/Americas Tire and they will check your TPMS for free. I had purchased new wheels/tires and my TPMS system was not reading. It turned out that one of them was dead, causing all four to read "--".

if it was low and you added air it will stay yellow for a few hours of driving, usually when i get a low PSI after i add air i just do a brake pedal reboot and when it comes back up its all cleared and good to go.

You can also try Controls > Service > Reset TPMS Sensors if that’s available for your car.
