Re: Low tire indicator
Whether it's 10% depends on how the sensor measures pressure. If it's
measuring relative pressure to the atmosphere (the same thing you measure with your gauge), then I agree it's about 10%. If it's measuring actual pressure, then it's more like 20%. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html |
Re: Low tire indicator
thanks for all the input...When I get back home to CA, on to Harbor Freight

HT- TPMS Units?
HT,
Have you looked at the tpms units on the Sonatas for 08 (and most others I assume)? It appears to me that they have a lithium cell (CR2032) and I asked the service department on the servicing of these things. I guess I wait until the TPMS light comes on? One of the techs suggested I go to nitorgen (don't shoot me, just stating facts!) as an alternative to keep these things rust/corrosion free. Why not use the ABS signal as an indicator? The circumfrence of a tire changes a with it's pressure, right? -- Steve, 2008 Sonata SE http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/rfs/463926931.html |
HT- TPMS Units?
I've only had a couple off and haven't paid much attention. I don't think
the battery is replaceable. If you have a system which tells you which tire is low (not sure which cars have which system), there is a transmitter in the fender well which sends a radio signal to turn on the TPMS sensor. I.e., it's off when needed, saving on battery life. GM actually used a system which used the wheel speed. It proved troublesome. Rotating the tires would cause the tire pressure lamp to illuminate a few miles down the road. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html |

Re: HT- TPMS Units?
Thanks HT. I assumed it would be replaceable by the photo of it I have seen.
That makes sense though, kinda like WOL (wake on LAN).
