Reset TPMS....CEL briefly came on. Why?
Just wondering if this has happened to anyone before and if someone might know what caused it?
Yesterday I reset the TPMS after installing my winter wheel set and about 2 miles later, the CEL indicator lit up. Still had full power so I wasn't in limp mode or anything. Then about 2 miles later, the light disappeared. Hasn't come back since.
Is this normal occurance when resetting the TPMS?
Not sure how this would be related but I've got an akrapovic delete r installed...
Anyway, thanks for any insight!

A million things can cause it, and the least exciting way to guesstimate is by reading the fault codes (if any) stored. Use your own tool, or see if Autozone or Pepboys can do it for you (dealer will try to charge 1 hr or labor just to get off their rear ends).
Is your akropovic donwpipe with, or w/out the cat?
Have you filled up with the corn-infused winter blend fuel lately?
All are possible (partial) triggers for the CEL.

Your CEL occurance is probably unrelated to the TPMS reset.

The DP has a cat, but it's a hi flow, so I still needed the delete-r to kill the related CEL.
Pretty sure we've got the winter blend around here too, MPGs have taken a good dive lately. anyway, thanks for the heads up, I'll check to see if any codes were stored.

ah ok...I take comfort in knowing I'm not the only one lol. It actually happened again today...and again, it went away before I could get home to my scanner. I'm just going to keep the scanner in my car so I can capture it next time...I'm dammit curious lol.
thanks for the response Mike!

Are you getting a 'tpms inactive' warning in the speedo? When it is very cold here (less than about 15 degrees F), I get a warning. If it gets above 30F the warning will reset itself.
I also had a body sensor going bad last winter. Whenever I got the light in the center stack, I always got a 'TPMS Inactive' message in the speedo.
