TPMS warning problem

Since I've owned this car I cannot get the TPMS warning light to shut off for any length of time. I've recently replaced the wheels & tires with brand new TPMS and gone through the reset procedure about 30 times, tire pressures are always spot on and yet the light continues to illuminate. Any suggestions for a fix?

I had an intermittent 'inactive' warning on my system. It turned out to be a bad receiver in one of the front wheel wells. Have your dealer (or a competent independant) look at the system, they can tell you what transmitter/receiver is not working properly.

There is one receiver for each wheel, mounted in the wheel well. I know that the front ones are located under the headlight (they sit in a little pocket), but I'm not sure where the rear ones are located. They are about the size of a pack of cigarettes with a set of wires that plug into it. There is also a main module that is mounted in the trunk, as stated above.


Have fun,
Mike
