Tire ressure sensor never change.

Post by rtbmrgl »

Good morning,
2009 RT
. My TMPS on the dash never changes, stays at 31-37psi, 100 mi ride yesterday and short ride today. Checked when I got home today, 34-42 psi on my gauge. July the PO had the dealer replace the sensors when replacing the tires. I just got my MotoScan but haven't used yet, will this work to reset the sensor or do I need to take bake to the dealer.

. :cheers:

Hi

Pressure increases as the tyres get warm not sure if the TPMS compensates

TPMS does compensate for temperature change. If you are worried they are not working let some air out (about 10 seconds should do it), a rapid change will bring up also sorts of pretty colours on the dash.

Sensors broadcast pressure about once every 30 seconds (or at least the display is updated around that frequency). They carry on broadcasting for about 5 minutes after the wheels stop turning then shut down.
