Weird TPMS problem?

[kruuth]

My tpms light flashes 60 times when I fire up the car. Then it stays solid. All my tires are inflated to the proper 32lbs. Is there something I need to do here?

Sounds like a bad sensor. Mine does the same thing but I have no tpms.

Great....how do you fix it?

[mmkeller]

Dealer.............they will check it out and replace/reprogram if needed. That is if you want them to. I don't have them and live with the light, of course I check my pressure every 2 weeks.

I despise the TPMS. I think it causes more frustration that the benefits it provides. Just check your pressure every so often as suggested above. Don't rely on that light on the dashboard.

Same thing happened to me, they wanted 200$ for a new sensor. The reason it comes on is weak batteries inside the TPMS. Only way to change the battery is to change the sensor and recalibrate. They told me the older the car gets, the more it's going to happen so unless you're going to sell the car soon or they'll do it for free, it's not worth fixing. Just check your pressures manually like everyone else said and let the light be.

Car is an 09 with 60k so I thought the sensor dying was a little weird. Maybe a reset or something?

I got an 08 with 35k miles, I thought the same thing. But it wouldn't need to be reset. Only thing that would trigger the light besides a bad sensor would be over/underinflation. Have you manually checked your tires? Sensors on stock tires are meant to operate at 34-36 psi.
