Question: When one of the tire pressure monitors dies, is there a way to reset the system so that the light turns off temporarily? Sort of like erasing a CEL code only to have it return a few miles later.
I ask because I took my car to Firestone to have a dead TPM sensor replaced ($80 vs the dealer's $250) and they said they did it. A week later my tire light came on again and the dash display read "***" for one of the tires, indicating a dead TPM sensor. When I looked at the Firestone paperwork, the mechanic had written "All sensors are reading, system needed to be reset" on the last page.
I'm now wondering if they actually replaced the sensor or just reset the TPMS.
Thoughts?
