Default TPMS Sensors

I have a 2004 so my car is about 10 - 11 years old. I was telling my friend the other day that I was expecting my batteries in the sensors to start failing. Next day my TPMS light came on. Checked all the tires and they were all at 29, so I assume battery failure. Wouldn't you know I just replaced all the tires 3 months ago, I should have realized I would be having this problem and replaced the sensors at that time.

Simple 0$ fix : remove the wire.
You are retired, don't tell me you don't have time to monitor your tire pressures

( the TPMS on our cars is outdated technology anyway, all the modern ones tell you which tire and what the pressure is )

Leave the TPMS senders in the wheels though, these wheels were designed with the TPMS weight in mind, if you take them out you will end up with a big ugly pile of lead stick-on weights after the wheels are balanced.

Set tire pressure to 36# and see if the lights go out. The threshold on these is + - six #

Your tire pressure too low. The correct tire pressure is printed on the door jamb's label.

Your pressure is too low. It's 33 psi in the rear and 32 psi in the front. Mine came on and while it stayed on even after filling them, it eventually went off. Signal are sent at some frequency and time period so sometimes it just takes time for it to register.

Okay, I set the pressure to 33 rear/32 front and the light went off.
Guess I am okay for a little while longer.

Where is the wire?

Good.

With regard to the wire, someone may have instant recall on that. I'd have to look it up in the schematic / manual and can't right now. Hopefully you'll get your answer soon, or later when I can check.

That is what the TPMS is for, so you can keep the tires at the correct pressure. The only problem is when the light is on, you've got to check all your tires.

The wire is on the plug that goes into the garage door opener which contains the TPMS receiver. The garage door opener does not handle new rolling codes technology, so it was easier for me to just pull the plug from the opener without finding the individual wire.

Not sure you are correct about the garage door reciever not handling rolling codes technology..........mine works justfine with my rolling code opener

Yep, mine works fine too on my rolling code opener.

Where in the thread do you see mention of "2014 rolling code" ?
All I read was "new" rolling code, could mean any age.
Mine was installed in 2007, but it IS a rolling code unit.

So you know for a fact a "modern" door opener with a rolling code is compatible? I can't sit here and say.." it will work".. without any room for doubt. Crossfires .. 04-08.. I would hope an 07 door still worked..

Aaahhh.. you can stay and play.. Just can't say keeping up with modern day garage door advancing technology is part of my daily efforts.. LOL.


I experienced trying to set up this with our rent house.. gave in and just told the wife be sure to keep a key to the place if we ever needed in for repairs.. LOL. Parents garage was straight up easy-set code.

My Crossfire garage door opener control, as well as a spare (part) I tested, worked fine with my vintage 1992 year garage door openers in 2009. When I installed two new garage door openers in 2012 they would not work with the in car opener control or the spare. After many attempts to get the controls to work with the new garage openers, I researched the problem on the forum, and found posts indicated they would not work with rolling codes, so I left it at that. It may be that they work with some manufacturer rolling codes/systems, and not others. There are others on the forum that could not get their Crossfire garage door openers to work with their garage door openers.


I didn't mean to mislead anyone about the functionality of the garage opener control. The point was if you are not using (or cannot use it) the garage door opener control it's easy to unplug it, rather than looking up and removing the correct wire from the plug to get rid of the TPMS light.
