Replaced my wheels...

Bion_ · 08-10-2013, 02:22 PM

So I replaced my wheels and now the wheel light, I think the DSC light, is illuminated. Is there a way to turn it off? I am also about to install coilovers. I am sure plenty of people have had this issue. Please let me know of any fixes!

Is it the circle with a triangle or the ( ! ) symbol? ( ! ) is TPMS, the other is DSC/DTC disengaged.

Did you reset the tyre pressure warning after changing tyres?

It looks like a tire with a ! in the middle of it.

Yes I did. I can try it again though.

Tried resetting again and no luck. Are there sensors in the stock wheels that I should have had moved over to the new wheels and tires?

yes, 2009 uses active TPMS so there are sensors built into the valve stems. Tire Rack had the best prices on a set of sensors and stems last year when I bought winter wheels.

Then i can't help. I don't even have TPMS in my wheels. I have the system, but my car monitors rotating speeds between tyres or something like that. No sensors inside the wheel.

So I just need to get the 4 sensors, get them installed, and I should be good? Nothing to do with the ride height or anything?

TMPS has nothing to do with ride height. You can find some nicely priced sets on eBay.

If your new wheels and tires do not have any TPMS, then yes, you will need to swap them over in order to make the indicator go away.
