Default New Gap Tool Owner! Question.

Ok, I bit the bullet and bought the Gap Tool. It's pretty sweet and I'm learning how to use it effectively. Sorry to all of you because this means I'm going to be on here asking questions...
My main issue lie in my EAS, which I'm going to start fussing with soon, going to do a compressor rebuild first and then dive in.
First question though is a tire pressure related one. I have all of my tires properly inflated but I continuously get a tire pressure warning on the instrument cluster. It is intermittent. On for a few seconds every couple minutes. I really thought that this would read as a fault and I could track down what was going on and what TPS might be bad. However, I'm getting no faults. Anyone have some insight into that for me? Cheers,

If you don't care about actually having legitimate TPMS warnings, you can just disable the entire system with the gap tool. Its what I did because I personally saw no need for the warnings or paying extra for TPMS sensors.

I want to say it's under car config -- body control

Basically I just changed the "tpms fitted" from yes to no. No more warnings and no issues.

I travel too much to disable TPMS, for now at least since I may go aftermarket. But the issue you describe is probably a TPMS module fault. The modules fail and cause what you describe.

Thanks guys. I disabled the TPMS for now. I guess I don't really need it. Thinking this through it must be the module. If it was a bad sensor I think i'd be getting a fault.

Not sure if the spare tire could be fitted with TPMS? The occasional pressure alerts I have experienced in the last six years have always cleared after adding a couple pounds of pressure and driving a few miles.

^ Not sure what you mean, vehicles equip with TPMS have a sensor in the spare and a pick-up. Annoyingly if the spare is out of spec it will indicate on the dash that the spare is the issue but all the other tires just say to "check pressure of all tyres".
