About a month ago, at ~165k miles, the “Check Tire Pressure System” light came on. I assumed that one of the TPMS sensors died. System won’t reset. Figured I’d just replace the tires before the end of the year and have new TPMS sensors installed.
Fast forward to yesterday, halfway through an 1100-mile round trip. My wife and I ran into a grocery store to get some stuff for lunch. We left our kids locked in the LX because they didn’t want to come in (it was 58ºF out, the LX is not airtight, and they’re all in grade school). I told them not to touch anything, especially door handles or locks, because they might set the alarm off. Well, we were in the store for 10 minutes, but apparently that’s long enough for the alarm to go off and then shut itself off. We came back out, and one of our kids immediately tells on the other, “he set off the alarm. It went off like forever and then just stopped itself.”
I made lots of parenting noises at my kids and then fired up the LX to leave, and the Check Tire Pressure System light is off. All 5 tire pressures are reading on the dash. It was on for a month, despite attempts to reset it, and then shuts itself off and starts reading pressures properly after the vehicle alarm goes off. Anyone got any ideas what is going on here?
