Valve Caps and TPMS
 
Just had my TPMS light come on a few days ago. I have checked tire pressure and every tire is ok. I cant figure out the reason for the light but the only thing I could think of is that I put on some new valve caps the night before the light came on so thats the only thing I could think of. Anyone ever have this issue because of valve caps before? I guess I will take it in to see if I have a faulty TPMS but it has been fine until just recently.

You are supposed to use valve caps that have the rubber moisture seal to prevent condensation damaging the sensors. However I don't see how this could have any bearing in such a short period of time. I haven't even had valve caps on my wheels for the last 6 months.

Check the spare? I think the spare has a TPMS sensor too...

the spare in the trunk does not, but maybe the one in the front does... :icon14:

seems to be coincidental that you changed your caps and TPMS came on. wat psi are you running?
i use SSR valvecaps on my factory 19's.
