Something's up with my TPMS

AndyR83 · 08-08-2013, 11:06 PM

Tuesday afternoon I got my wheels back from powder coating. I had the shop put them on my Car, and when I got in it to drive away I saw that my low tire warning was lit up, showing that the front passenger's side tire was low. I went to a gas station and found it was indeed very low, and filled it up. The light went out.

Wednesday morning I woke up, went out to my car to go to work, and found that all four tires were now coming up with low tire warnings. I again went to the gas station, but only one of them was low. When I filled that one (Front passenger again) the warning light went away.

Now it's Thursday and the warning now says my DRIVER'S side front tire is low. It isn't driving as if anything was out of the ordinary.

What's going on here?? I think my front passenger side tire has a slow leak since that one was actually low. What's up with all these other warnings? Could it be something they did wrong when mounting the tires or putting the wheels on the car?

Did they replace the seals on the tpms when they remounted it to the wheel?

I didn't know they had seals, personally. Based on their disappointing service I'm guessing the shop didn't either.
