THANKS NAMily!!!

Thanks NAMily!!!

Had the TPMS Symbol go on just after I left work on Friday Night. Got out checked tires (visually) nothing looked out of sorts, called Hubby as he was working from home and let him know what was going on.

Figured that since it was after 5 and I wouldn't reach anyone at the Dealer I'd go ahead and take Molly home. Thought about calling RSA today, but didn't want them to come out needlessly.

Molly had been tucked in for the Weekend or/so we thought...Hubby would have taken her in on Monday AM, BUT and here's why we are so GREATFUL to the NAMily...I researched TPMS threads and found a possible fix.

The Temps. have gotten Colder and no other reason that I could think of that would cause the Alarm. I do drive over delapidated Rail Road Tracks in an Industrial Area where I work, that was always a concern for us before we got Molly, but she's been a Trooper. Did a TPMS Reset and so far that's seemed to have worked.

Well, not to write a Book, but I wanted to share our experience and thank the NAMily for helping ease Molly's woes.

THANKS AGAIN...NAM ROCKS!!!

be sure to use a tire pressure gauge and check your pressures!

Canadian Tire has them. I think you have 15" or 16" rims. Check your door for the tire pressure. I think it is 33 psi.

Got one ordered from Griot's...I had to order some Spray-On Car Wash anyway, so I thought I'd just kill 2 birds with one stone.

Thanks Gang!!

My mistake on the place to buy the tire guage, I thought you were in Vancouver, BC so I gave you a local chain in Canada. I got mine from Summit Racing and Jegs but Sears has it as well if you want to buy it locally. Many NAM vendors also have it as mentioned. I like the racers analog guage with the large 2 inch white face/black arrows, rubber hose, heavy duty straight chuck and a bleeder valve. These are the easiest to use and will last a long time. From my experience, Rebco, Intercomp or Moroso are good.
