LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Got a question....My 08 Grand Caravan has a TPMS light that only seems to come on if it gets below 35 degrees/1.6 celsius. The tire pressure is at 32 on all 4 tires cold. Have you guys seen this happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam_Dodson Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 maybe someone trained it at a higher pressure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbriggs Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Is it indicating a low tire or a tpms fault? I beleive the ford system puts light on steady for a low tire and flashes it for a system fault, not sure if dodge is the same. Weve had a run of bad sensors lately, since it got cold (-20`c) Im thinking the sensor batteries are crapping in the cold weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Amacker Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Did you check the spare? (BTDTGTTS, still red faced over it....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 You ever see where the damn spare tire is on these? Underneath the van between the 2 front seats. You have to pullup the center console and get access to the bolt to release the cable. Knock on wood that I don't get a flat...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Amacker Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Why don't you put some black tape over the light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got roadside assistance, and my girlfriend has CAA (same as AAA in the states). I'll change a tire, if it's easy to get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your van by chance a high rail truck, with 80 ply tires on it Larry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
