Re: inexpensive tire pressure monitors that will work

I thought it was silver in the pictures and only upon coming to test drive did I even learn it was blue. It's a real light sky blue. I'll have to upload a picture. And no, I don't have that manual lol Thank you for your help! Yeah, I've only maybe seen a picture of it on the non-sls, so on the sls ...

Re: inexpensive tire pressure monitors that will work

Mine is light blue. And I still have the OG service manual it came with the vehicle Oh nice! That's a rare color that I haven't seen very often. 8-) The manual that comes with the car is the owner's manual. The factory service manual is what the technicians use and it well over 1000 pages. I would ...

Re: inexpensive tire pressure monitors that will work

Hey Old Tech. I am a new Kizashi owner. 2011 SLS sport, 126k miles. My tire pressure sensor light is on. It just blinks sometimes. Is this telling me I need air in my tires or a new sensor? Also, I was wanting to do the CVT inspection and modification I have heard you mention on this forum. And I w...

Re: inexpensive tire pressure monitors that will work

I agree. You can't see any more information on the info panel once it is orange like that unless you hold down that button, and then it's only for a few seconds before the orange returns. Quite aggressive.

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

Suzuki Vitara. :P However it's very strange Vitara as TPMS reset procedure for it doesn't work (it's fully ignored by car) but surprisingly TPMS reset procedure for Kizashi started to work. Moreover it was quite limited version of this model with S in the name and I've heard that some components we...

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

Ive tried cloning original working Suzuki sensors with Autel units and the Continental/vdo system rejects these in the same manner. I actually looked into the cloning systems early on when I was researching how to get around needing the dealership for a re-learn. Did the cloned sensors not work? In...

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

I will write to Continental to confirm if my sensors are genuine or counterfeit. I have all data including photos (good I took them before putting sensors into tyres). Todays fakes are so well done, the only way manufacturers can tell is once they have their hands on them and open them up. I've dea...

Re: inexpensive tire pressure monitors that will work

Yep, the Kizashi is the only car besides the wife's Tesla where I have to deal with a TPMS system. I agree it's a pain, and is a complete result of other peoples idiocy because those of us that know safety will check our tires, our brakes, etc, regularly and know where it all stands. I can sympathiz...

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

Thanks a lot for this info. Which blinks exactly means the number of suspicious sensors? Two just after ignition on? So does it means I have two suspicious sensors? And what means those 3 and next 2 blinking after approx. 10 km? In theory my sensors are Suzuki branded ones as they were packed in pa...

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

I am quite familiar with the blinking. It blinks are indicating the number of tpms that are not fully accepted from the last re-registration. you need the vdo s like SamirD mentions. However, two weeks ago I posted under technical ; inexpensive tpms that work. Check it out. $27 for a set of four. T...
