Hey folks.

I ran over a nail and had a slow leak that turned into a quick leak, yesterday. Back passenger side. Fixed the tire easy. But I didn’t even notice it tilI I pulled out of the driveway and felt the flat and found the nail. I guess the tires don’t have pressure sensors. But would the ECU throw a suspension fault code? I didn’t receive one. Could the ride height sensor on that tire be faulty? Or flats don’t normally trigger suspension fault codes? I’m assuming the suspension system is working normally. I checked it after repairing the tire and all good.

 

Im not sure why you think it would throw a suspension fault. If you don't have TMPS, then you have not tire pressuring monitoring. In the US is was mandatory, in most other countries it was an optional install.

 

Not even an option in Australia on the D3 that i'm aware of and not seen many D4's with it either - not a popular option i guess.

 

It was an option on the D3. And a quick search in the Australian forums shows people mentioning they have the stock system, in one case wanting to switch to a aftermarket cause the sensors are marked up a ridiculous amount. So yeah, probably not poplar though. I have mine disabled because new tires lack sensors. And I want to go aftermarket too for when I air down. Had once instance where I aired down for snow and tore the sidewall, since the warning was already up for being low I had no clue one tire deflated 100%. I want real reading I can see live. But now one makes a duel profile system for different pressures.
