1989 Honda GL 1500 Gold Wing Logo
Anonymous Posted on Jul 20, 2010

TPMS Light Recently bought a 2010 1800 GoldWing Trike with a Motor Trike conversion kit. The TPMS light stays lit. We have checked the rear tire pressure and it's at 29 and the front is at 38. Don't really want to take the trike back to the dealer because it's 100 miles away. Any suggestions as to what may be wrong, will there be permanent damage if the light stays on. Is there an easy fix? Welcome any and all help. Thanks Bob

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) gets signals from transponders in the wheels. By modifying the unit from its stock form (removing the stock rear wheel), the TPMS is not receiving a signal and will cause the warning light to illuminate. Unfortunately there is no way to fix this without returning the bike to stock. The light will not cause any damage, but the system will not be able to alert you of low pressure in the front wheel.

Testimonial: "Sorry about the outcome but happy there is no permanent damage. The answer makes a lot of sense. I thank you for your help in solving my problem."

    You can buy the transponder and install in one of the rear wheels. I fits in the valve.

My Cadillac devil 2004 is prompting me saying"tire monitoring sensor" isn't wiring or need to be replaced. I'm a do it yourself kind of guy is this something I can fix myself ? And what's my best plan

The TPMS monitors tire pressure and sends a signal to the Cadillac's computer when there is low tire pressure. When the tire pressure is restored, the Cadillac's TPMS should reset itself. However, if it does not, the TPMS light on the dash will stay lit. When this happens, you need to know how to manually reset the TPMS light and sensors.

Instructions

1 Press and hold the tip odometer button on the gauge cluster.

2 Wait until the display screen brings up the settings menu.

3 Release the "reset" button and press it again to scroll through various settings.

4 Keep pressing the "reset" button until you come to the TPMS setting.

5 Press and hold the "reset" button until the TPMS light on the dash resets.

Trike conversion issues

because it is a trike not a bike
ie: the abs is there to detect 2 wheels
it now has 3 wheels and two brakes that are not standard
the preload adjuster
i do not know what you mean by this
as we do not get this sort of gadget in the uk and the translation may be different
is it on the braking side or the acceleration side

Why TPMS light stays on in my CRV

After checking and adjusting the tire pressures, The vehicle must be driven at speeds above 28 Mph (45 km/h) for approximately 20 minutes for the TPMS to receive the updated information from the tire pressure sensors in the tires. It will then reset itself.

If you have driven the vehicle, and the indicator will still not go off, then you need to take your car in for service so the malfunction in the TPMS system can be properly diagnosed.

New tire installed at Discount Tire and a "tpms

The "Rebuild Kit" is just a set of seals, new mounting nut and sometimes, a new valve cap. The sensor must be removed to dismount the tire from the rim without breaking the sensor. (The valve stem is actually part of the sensor - this is why you shouldn't have a charge for "Valve Stem" on your bill.) Installing the sensor with new seals, nut, and valve cap did not cause your light to come on. Breaking the sensor during removal or installation could cause it. Over-inflating the tires can also cause the light to come on in some vehicles. Any way you look at it, they should fix the problem and reset your TPMS Computer to get the light turned off without any argument unless the problem is being caused by a sensor on a wheel other than the one that was replaced. (In this case, it would be pure coincidence that the sensor decided to give up the ghost immediately after the other tire was replaced...not real likely, but I've had similar things happen to cars I've worked on.)

TPMS Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Check ALL including the spare tire for proper air pressure. If all is well then check the fuse for the TPMS module. If all is well there, off to the dealer you may have to go.

Hyundai Veracruz GLS 2008 Tire Pressure problem

Keep taking it back to the dealer until the fix it or give you a new car. Not that it's an immediate safety issue, it's just something that's supposed to be functioning properly. They have to address it because cars are legally required to have TPMS systems for safety. If a safety mehanism fails in your car, you can claim it is a safety issue. If you keep having problems with the TPMS light, you'll eventually ignore it. Then one day you'll have a tire going flat and you wouldn't know it.
