Resetting TPMS
 

I got rid of the OEM tires on my LR3 HSE, put on Hakka 5's. Havent had a chance to test them yet, but after almost sliding off a snowy hillside with the Goodyears I thought it might be time. Anyhoo, I had a local flat fix shop put the tires on, am now getting a TPMS warning. Havent tried adjusting pressure yet (i thin they set all four at 35psi) but am wondering if there is some step i missed to reset TPMS. Help much appreciated!

Here is what to consider. If you took it to a mom and pop's shop, there is a small chance that they damaged the sensors during installation. But lets say they did it right. Check the PSI at each tire, including the spare. After a tire change, the sensors take approximately 10 minutes driving at a steady speed of 20mph or higher (if I remember correctly) to reset themselves. If after that you are still getting the warning, then there's something wrong. I think front tires under 30psi and back and spare tires under 35 will cause a warning. So if they went with 35 all around, it's very probable that either back tires or the spareare causing the warning. You have to play with PSI on new "non-factory" tires to get the right comfort/gas milage balance, but as a starting point make sure you are running at least 40psi on both rear and spare tires. If after all that you still have a warning, take it to the dealer. There's a bad sensor somewhere.

sometimes driving the rover for 5 or so miles will reset the light
it happens when i rotate tires front to rear sometimes.
do you still have all the sensors on the rims? check you sould have
metal stems and not rubber ones.

Thanks for the responses! I will check and report back.

I had my wheels switched out at Discount Tire - they had a handheld device that they used to electronically reset the TPMS warning light. They had a specific sequence they followed, starting at the front left tire, etc.

FIlled the pressure up to the recommended level and the light went out. Thanks for the help!
