The LTPWS light is on in the dash and Im starting to think something might be wrong.The light is sporadic,not always on.Any ideas on this?Thanks.

Jeff, you mean the "service LTPWS" lights intermittantly?

Try this link from our netreg site:

my right front sensor has a sticky battery so it lights the service LTPWS intermittantly. I believe that there is also an issue with components on the circuit board...but check out the link.

:cheers:

Thanks Tom.I guess one of the sensors is acting up.When I put a new set of wheels on the car Im going to leave these off.

I agree about leaving them out. I wasted my cash on trying to get a new set for my fake A-molds. I couldn't get a new right front, had to buy a used one and now that's the one giving me my "service LTPWS" light. I should have not wasted my cash on another set of sensors, dumb idea on my part. I should have just did without the system. I'm gonna do that if I ever get around to buying new tires to put on my salad shooter wheels.

I took my sensors off and never looked back...

It would be nice to have a low pressure warning, but these things seem to be more trouble than they are worth. I guess that's what happens as technology ages.

That was my thinking when I bought another set of sensors. Now, I'm spoiled by my 08 GM car that has the PSI read out on the DIC. It kind of makes the C4 system a bit less useful. I can watch as my tires' psi change as I corner the car....:sign10:

If you're on a long highway run, it still is nice to know that even our old system will tell you if you pick up a nail/screw and get down to < 25 psi between fuel stops. The newer systems set an alarm & display on the DIC if you suffer a 5 PSI drop, and the system tells ya which tire. :cool:

Unless I didn't understand the stuff over at the netreg site, it seems to me that our LTPWS suffers from bad components on the sensors just like the BOSE amps did.
