TPMS Fault (And service scheduled for 1 month out)

[helvio]

Hello Guys,

I went on a road trip this weekend and out of nowhere I got the TPMS Fault error message, one tire is not reporting.
Interestingly, at some point the left tire was the one not reporting, while the right was ok, and then it moved back to the right one.

It's annoying, SC only has an opening by Oct 21st. I wonder if any of you can suggest anything that would get this message away from my screen.

TIA!

Give it a day or two and it'll probably go away. I had the same fault on delivery day and was gone in two days. It hasn't come back since.

First the obvious questions. Recent software update? Have you tried a reboot and then a short drive to see if that fixes it? I'd try hard reboot, foot on brake and then press and hold both steering wheel buttons until the screen goes black. Obviously do this at home is best. Or just wait it out and see. My TPMS acted up on Friday too, but I had just picked up 4 more from local SC to install in a second set of wheels for winter usage, so I had blamed it on that, unlikely but the timing when I had the issue aligned.

I notice the left rear at 34. If correct, this is way too low. It could be that below some minimum pressure, the Tesla assumes a fault.
Maybe check/fill both rear tires to 42 and see what happens.

It's been a couple of days already, this started on Saturday, it's Monday now and it's still there

I believe 34 is still within spec since it complained to me once it was 32 and I filled it up. But I'll try that, too. It's definitely not flat, thanks for the suggestion!

No software update, been on 2020.36.10 for maybe a week before that happened. Tried a soft and a hard reboot, no luck. Didn't want to do a factory reset though.

On a side note, I just got a message from Tesla to troubleshoot it prior to the appointment time. I will check with them and post any new info.

Thanks, y'all!

If you have an air pump, suggest releasing air from that tire by about half, then airing it back up to say 42 psi and taking it for a test drive. That was a trick that cleared faulty error messages on recent Corvette's.

Thanks! I'll see if I can try to do that over my lunch break!

We've been plagued with the occasional TPMS fault on various tires. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which tire or why. It has always cleared after leaving the car. I just had to do a complete reboot for the latest performance upgrade to be effective so time will tell if this also cleared the TPMS nuisance warning. ( I really never thought to completely reset the car)

32 is too low, that’s probably the issue, it should be at least 42. I keep mine at 45 and it gives me the best efficiency there.

I have this exact problem and had it for almost a month now. It does NOT go away even when I have all my tires inflated at 42 psi. And like you said the faulted corner jumps around. I even tried brand new TPMS I purchased from Tesla with no avail.

With that said, there was another member with the same problem and he was able to take it in to SC to have it looked at. The answer he got after the service (which they were unable to fix) was that this is a known software issue and that it would be fixed with an OTA update (no pun intended).

Low tire pressure warnings!

I've been waiting for my frunk sensor to be fixed for over a month and it prevents TACC/Autopilot/FSD as well as windshield wipers from operating :|

Thanks! I guess I'll cancel my service appointment and wait for an update. It's SUPER annoying as even if you collapse the warning message to the left, it comes back after any notification, like a nearby stop sign or traffic light. Or the nag. But this is mighty useful information, much appreciated!

200% agree with ya there too!! I am getting pretty good at flickin'em off though. LOL!

My mother's MY is slow to report one tire. I'll have to check with her but I think it is rear left. 2020.36.3 is her firmware.

I am on 2020.36.11 and it's still not fixed (not included in the release notes). I believe the latest one is 2020.36.12 but I doubt it'll have it in that one either (same release note).

 

[DaveORD]

Probably explains why I have not been updated past 36.4 Typically I am quick to be updated, but stuck on 36.4 for a while now, so assuming no updates for me until they fix the TPMS issues first?

The updates are incremental. 36.4, 36.11, 36.12 then next 36.xx (hopefully with the TPMS fix).

Same thing happened to me yesterday on my way to work. "Fixed" itself about 5 minutes into my drive home from work.

At the SC today for rear seat adjustment and TPMS random alert. Tech says they can see the TPMS trying to connect within the first 10 mins and not being able to but goes on to say the USB hub I using from Amazon is NOT Tesla approved and is possibly the issue.
