15 year old tire sensors are the Achilles Heal of the Beast - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Thank's for the warning!!!

So - what's the final story on these sensors? Mine is a '92 Z and I have the "service LTPWS" light coming on from time to time. Tire pressure is fine. I'm just about to change to new wheels and had planned on not transferring the sensors to the new ones. Will my system go nuts if I don't or will everything be cool?

BTW - if I need to take away the bulbs, how do I best get behind the Info Center monitor?

Thank's for your advice.

Just had new Sumitomos put on and had a 4 wheel alignment, drives like a different car.
Back to the tire sensors. I was getting the LPTWS light coming on every time I drove. I told them to remove the sensors when they changed the tires.
Heres what they found:
Only 3 sensors??
2 were broke
1 was in good condition
No LPTWS light coming on now and she drives like new
