I've been driving my newly acquired (11/15/17) 2009 XK coupe, in all weather, and tempurtures, between 50 and 20 degrees F, here in the Northeastern US. The only problem I have had with the car is the low tire pressure warning. It comes on with out reason for all four tires, sometimes just one tire, other times for all four. I've stopped the car, and checked the pressures, and have checked them before starting off,; they are correct at 30psi front and 33psi rear. How can I shut off the warnings? Is there a simple switch, or a fuse someplace that can be adjusted?

 

TPMS batteries typically last 4-5 years. Looks like your at year eight and they aren't great.
Siemens VDO 53004 TPMS works great for replacing your sensors.

 

Inflate your tires to 40psi and the warning should disappear. you can then deflate to normal psi gradually, and it should stay off. Many of us have had similar experiences.

 

Where are these batteries located??

The batteries are inside the sensors and cannot be replaced.

But, if you are getting a warning for all four wheels, the problem is most likely the receiver, not the sensors. That's what happened with mine anyhow.

 

The sensors are connected inside each wheel, attached via the valve stem. Only way to replace the sensors is to have the tires removed.

 

I just put new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires on, and replaced all 4 TMPS while I was at it. About $135 for a set of 4.

 

Everyone's covered what, where and why, except "turning them off". As stated, the batteries wear out and the TPMS need to be replaced. Take the car to a tire shop. Buy the sensors off Amazon first to avoid the markup. My local NTB charged $10 per wheel for the swap out.

OEM software is required to turn them off and no dealer will do that for you as they are required under federal law (fuel efficiency).

 

Before throwing new sensors at the car, find a tyre shop who has one of these TPMS scan tools.





You can test each sensor while it's still inside the tyre, and it will also tell you the battery condition in each sensor too.

If all four sensors check out, then you're probably looking at a receiver fault.

 

Cambo, you have all the best toys!

 

pwpacp, I sent you a PM (unrelated to this thread)

 

Sean, Are the sensors you bought from Amazon generic or is there a special model number that I should be concerned about? Dan

 

Hey Dan!

I installed these:


But others have indicated these were good as well


But heed Cambo's advice and have a tire shop read them first, then drive home and buy if they are dead. If you have to replace one, replace them all. Given the age of the car, they're due.

 

Check out OE Wheels. I've bought sensors in sets of four for just a little over what Amazon wants for two. The first went on my Lexus, and the last on my XKR.
Never had one fail yet.

Dan you want the 315mhz, not the 433mhz as they are for other parts of the world.
