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%.

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?

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.

But, at least on my GM model, you can just press the reset button so it can
adjust itself to the new position/condition.

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).
