MESSAGE "Service Tire Monitoring"

[JochenWoern]

I am getting the above message on the DIC numerous times during the day.

My tire pressure is correct and all sensors have been checked and are in good operating condition.

What could be the issue? Is it simply a code I may have to have reset by the dealer with the diagnostics tool?

Thanks in advance.

How have your sensors been 'checked'? Sensors have a lifespan of around 6-8 years so you may be due for replacements if those are the originals. I picked a set of replacements for spring when I put new tires on....

sounds like a sensor going bad. I would get that message on mine for about 15 minutes and then it would start reading again.

when the message comes up in the dic, cycle through to where it shows the pressures, one of them will probably be reading (---psi). whichever one has no reading is intermittent and will have to be changed.

The sensors are a little over a year old and were installed last time I put new tires on.

They were checked at my buddies FIRESTONE shop with the tire sensor scanning tool and they were all found to be operating as they should.

On my '04 you can not cycle through the sensors, this feature is non existent. On my '06 I previously owned, this was possible.

If you can't monitor the pressures in the DIC you will have to have it scanned, it should have a history code for which sensor is intermittently reading low.
