I was taking Rena out for a cruise today, on the way to the hospital. For some odd reason, a yellow exclamation mark showed up on my dial and it started beeping for a bit. I thought maybe it was the oil, and checked it and filled it up to full. Still there.

I have no idea what this light means..., it was running fine before and after it appeared. I thought maybe it was DSC telling me it just saved my life (I was cornering at an intersection), but even with DSC off, its still there.

I called the dealer, and I'm bringing it in tomorrow. But before that, any ideas why?

 

Does Rena not have an owner's manual?

 

Rena does. All it tells me is that Rena thinks there's something wrong.

 

is about your tire
go check it, air pressure is not enough
or may be it is leaking...

 

That means you did not read Rena's Manual you MORON

 

Well, first thing you have to learn is that it DOESN'T mean Rena is "surprised".

! = TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System):
Warning light illminates for a few seconds when ignition is on. If tire pressure is too high or too low, or tire temperature is too high warning light will illuminate.

 

yellow ! sign w/ beeping = tire pressure issue, check ur tires

 

Seems like Rena needs to lose a little weight. Fat beeyatch

 

(!) = TPMS


Rena, or perhaps her owner, should try READING said manual.

 

(_!_)

that what the tpms sensor light looks like. seriously. i got it once, and i pulled over immediately and whipped out the manual. checked the tires. my mechanic had inflated them to 50psi each1!! OMG

i let 10 psi out of each of them. should i let more out? the bumps dont really bother me. and i figure harder tires = better mpg.

 

That looks like a bum

 

read the label on the side of driver-side rear door; I believe 32psi all around is the recommended pressure.

 

please take a video camera when you take Rena to the stealership and post for us all to share. and scan and post the bill too. i've had a bit of a boring week and just need a laugh.

 

That's the tire pressure monitor system. Put air in your tires, doofus.

The tires are the black dirty things around the round spinning shiny things at each corner of the car.

 

i know. but i swear the tpms sensor light looks exactly like that. it made me laugh too.

 

Tires seem fine. I thought about the tires too, and they don't look deflated. I'll check'em tomorrow.

 

^^ Oh I forgot you have magic air pressure vision super powers! Silly me. Most of use tire gauges.

 

Looking at the tire won't help anything, unless your tire is below 15 psi. Then you can tell it's low just by looking at it. Invest in a quality tire guage with a pressure release button. This will hold the pressure in the guage so that you can take it off the valve stem to get an easier reading. Then just press the button to reset it back to zero psi; which is probably close to what you are running ;-) PLEASE let us know the outcome.

 

you guys are all wrong....its the proximity to pie sensor which is malfunctioning

 

It ain't like your old car's tires. You won't notice any difference in the lower profile tires. TPMS comes on when you dip below 24 or 25 psi.

What ever you're comfy with is cool. Just remember they'll go up a few psi once they're warmed up.

(_!_) = heehee!

 

First time I've heard you mention "pie" in quite awhile.

 

Alright, I'll go check the tire pressure later. I DON'T have a pressure gauge tho..., and I'm not sure where to obtain one.

I'll get it dealt with at the dealer today, but later on I'll get a pressure gauge.

 

Are you putting us on?

Ken

 

No...?

I've seen the gauges, handled by my parents, and a few other people. This is my very first car, and honestly, I didn't give a damn about maintenance until now.

I also know pressure gauges are sold at gas stations in Malaysia. Haven't seem em here though.

 

Maybe you can get your parents to buy you a gauge, or just slap you hard enough to make you do it yourself....
