Bouncing ! Question

Black///Mamba · 09-02-2008, 10:08 AM

Hey guys,

I know I know,

.

And I will, once I get home, but this has been worrying me. Been on vacation for 2 weeks and I knew some of the tires were low on air pressure as the SOLID ! was on. When I returned from vacation, I drove the car a few times and then yesterday I filled it up with air. Now, whenever I start the car, the ! symbol (in orange) bounces around a few times, and then after about 10-15 seconds disappears. Anyone else experience this? Any clue what it is? I am not too worried since it disappears, but still, not a fan of having any warning lights on.

Thanks in advance.

by bouncing I mean flashing by the way...

this happens to me when it starts getting cooler out... once the tires heat up, goes away

In my experience flashing lights are very important and usually urgent. I'd get it checked out asap.

Since you just reinflated your tires, you probably have to reset the system. IIRC, car in accessory mode and hold the TPMS button, on the center console near the e-brake, until the warning light goes out. I may not have remembered correctly, but as you so astutely pointed out,,,,,RTFM
