Default TPMS issue

So today I aired up the tires to 36/40. Readout on TPMS shows 37/41 but for some reason is giving me a low tire pressure warning for the front tire. Is there a way to reset the sensor?

So I figured it out. When I added air in the tires it was over 90° in the garage. Went out this morning and what was 37 psi yesterday turned out to be 33 psi this morning with cooler garage. Put some more air in and it is good to go.

Had the same problem. Apparently the TPMS has a set PSI threshold that's kind of on the high side. I had to get up to 39-40 PSI cold before it wouldn't trip.

Ya I’m wondering if the dealer can calibrate the threshold. I really don’t need an alert when it’s 2psi lower.

Same issues on my new 17. Never could get it to reset when hot but after it cooled down I added air and got it reset.

Moco recommends to check at 68 degrees temp and it's very rare when my garage is at 68 degrees in the summer and raise 1 psi for each additional 10 degrees so I keep mine at 38 and 43 for now.

So basically don’t check your tires from June to September...

Default Tpms

Mines at the dealer now for TPMS issue with red warning light and tire light coming on, blinking at first, then both on solid. Happened out of no where. 2016 CVO Limited. Tire pressure was within specs. We shall see what they come up with.
