I've just had 2 new tyres fitted to the front of the car and now only one of the TMPS at the front is reading a number.

I've searched the forums day and night for all the posts and threads... I've drove and drove and tried the recalibrate in the settings a number of times but I cannot get this bugger to provide a reading.

To confirm, on key on, the light flashes for 1 minute and then goes solid where it remains whilst driving.

Unluckily for me It also had it's MOT yesterday and because of the light being on it has failed. It was 100% working prior to the tyre change.

My question is, is there a fuse which will remove this light from the dash for the pure pupose of getting it through the MOT?

Or some other way this can be reset?

Can’t help, sorry.
I had two new tyres yesterday with no problems.

Perhaps you need a new sensor due to damage ?

Well i briefly remember, I think, after the tyre change the tyre was reading as the light wasn't on the dash. Then about 200 metres up the road it came on to my suprise.

I did take it back to the dealership and i've seen the sensor on the rim and it looks intact at least.

Anyone know the cost of a new sensor? Is it a case of any tyre place can do it as long as it's OEM or does it need to go to a specialist.

Most tyre chains offer TPMS changes.

Swap side to side - might not be the sensor?
