Hi all,
I need some help troubleshooting this. When had my tires powdercoated about a month ago, I got a new set of stock tires - Yokohama AD07's. Just today, I noticed via OMVS that the tire pressures were 40 psi all around. Since the recommended pressure is 30 psi front/40 psi back, I brought the pressure down in the fronts and saw the pressure drop via OVMS.
However, the VDS is not giving me any tire pressure info. I drove around a bit, saw the OVMS tire pressures bolded and active. When I was driving, I pressed the tires screen and it just listed the recommended pressures vs. the comfort settings. There was no active tire pressure info. I immediately pulled over, hit the info button, then tires, and I got the yellow outline of the car. The tires looked light blue against the dark blue screen background, but again no active tire pressure info or temperature info. I then started getting TPMS needs service messages that eventually went away with more driving.
So, it looks like I was driving around the past month with the new fronts inflated a bit too high, but I'm confused as to why I'm not getting tire pressure info on the VDS, but OVMS still seems to be giving me information.
Did the TPMS sensors need a reset with the new tires or it is possible the transmitter batteries are dying? I had one replaced under warranty a few months ago, but it would be odd if all 4 go at once.
Any ideas? I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this.
