Hello guys,

I installed lately my new winter tires without any pressure sensor in them. I was expecting to have a light in my dashboard but no warning light. Is it normal? I am not complaining but I am just wandering if the system is working correctly.

Thanks.

 

How long did you drive on the winter tires.....it wont come on immediately.

 

What counrty are you from? Not all RX8s get sensors.
For example, Canadian spec cars do not get them.

 

it takes ~15 minutes of driving for the light to come on

 

I noticed my TPMS light has been coming on lately since the colder weather has came...it usually stays on for about 5-10 minutes and comes off once my tires warm up.

 

you're tires are getting low on air. add more.

 

They have the correct PSI's already?

 

no they dont or the light wouldnt come on. you have to check the PSI when they are cold. then add the amount of air needed. if you wait until you have driven then they warm up and you dont get a correct reading.

 

Thank's zoom for the information. This is the first time ive talked to you on here...great work with the site.

 

I had a similar concern when I put on my winters. I went over a week without seeing the light. I'll bet you aren't taking any long drives huh?

 

thanks angel- and just for anyone who happens upoon this thread in the future ill touch this point as well- if the coolant light comes on ADD COOLANT. it may not look like it needs any but trust the light- it does.

 

Yeah, liquids wise I would never not trust the light. Also, I add oil every so often once it gets a bit low.
