Tire monitor display

MH2004 · 11-03-2004, 01:24 PM

Does anyone know which tire pressure display corresponds to which tire in the tire pressure display in the Nav system??? Basically I have no clue which which tire is getting low, unless I check each tire with a gauge.

thx

Ive wondered the same but thought it may be in the manual...haven't checked.

It is, in fact in the manual. It won't tell ya which tire is low...you have to check it with a gauge. Still, it's a neat feature. I've noticed that, like all tires, the pressure will fluctuate with weather changes. When you check and fill your tires, be sure to get the vehicle up to speed, otherwise the light won't go off.

The only way for you to know which tire it is without physically checking is if you have the NAV system factory installed. It will show which tire it is on the LED display if your truck is equipped with one.

No nav system installed, but my tire pressure alert says I'm low with the lowest tire on the truck at 34psi. It alarmed yesterday with the coldest outside air temp of the season. Drove it to heat up the tires as much as possible, but it won't go out. Looks like I gotta add a few psi or just live with it. I like the ride of the lower pressure. I recall the manual saying it should trip at around 28psi, which is reasonable, but 34??

I have the Nav system installed. When I click on the tire pressure option it will show 4 tire pressures. However this display is displayed in a horizontal fashion. If it were displayed in the manner as the tires were mounted on the truck i could figure it out. But stacked horizontally you will never know which tire it is. - Driving me crazy!

I had the same issue with mine. As ridiculous as it sounds, I released the air pressure in each tire until it reached about 10lbs. Afterwards, I filled them back up to 33lbs. I did them all individually, letting air out, putting air in, and moving to the next tire. Once I was finished, I got back in my truck and drove it. After about 2 minutes or so, the light went out.

To see which tire is which on the NAV screen, just let about 10 pounds of air out of any one tire. Drive a short distance and see which indicator corresponds to that tire. Do the same with 2 more tires and you have it. Obviously once you know 3 of them, the 4th is the only one left. Remember though, when the tires are rotated, it changes which indicator is which.

mine went off this morning right on cue - 25psi all around, so I guess i'm going by the service station after work today LOL it was around 40 this morning so I don't know if that had anything to do with it, but who knows. Nic

Same here, must be that Texas Cold snap we had. I actually had some ice on the window this morning.

I added air, but the light hasn't gone off yet.

Hit 20ºF last night here....damnit.

llajumpvid · 11-04-2004, 05:54 PM

The sensors lied to me. The dash light was on all the way home tonight and when I checked them they were all 32psi? Anyone else's whose went off this morning have this? The warning chimes didn't go off on the way home like they did this morning either???

I didn't check to see if my putting 3 more psi in them shut it off or not

My warning light turned off eventually. I know you're all as relieved as I am.

I have the nav and no idea how to tell which tire is what.

I did have the alarm sound a couple of weeks ago when we had a cool snap.

I think this tire pressure monitoring system will save me miles on tires. In the past I would rarely check my air pressure. If it looked low it got air, otherwise it did not.
