    TPMS light went on about 7 mos. ago, for 1st time since bought car in '07. Tire pressure is fine. Is it worth the price to have shop reset/replace the sensor? Looks complicated ($$$). Thanks.

    I have a broken TPMS on one tire. I found new ones with no problem. My questions are do I need to buy all 4? Do they need to be purchased from the dealership to be compatible with my car and the other 3 TPMS? The price difference between ones from the dealership and ones from the auto parts...
  3. 4th Generation Optima (2016 - 2020)
    Hello all, 2016 Optima LX FE here. I can’t get the TPMS light to stay off. After starting the car, the light flashes, then stays on. I have continuously adjusted the tire pressure, setting all 4 tires at 34 PSI. If the light comes on while driving, I stop and check the pressures; they’re...

    2019 Kia optima mileage 63k I got new wheels, I was wondering if I can just use Swap tpms from my old wheel. The local tire shop wanted $100 to swap those sensors. Since I gonna am swap do they have to reregister the sensors or it's just plug and play? they do not have machine for anything...

    Is the TPMS from a 2019 Sportage compatible with a 2018 Optima? I've found some 19" wheels which comes from a Sportage, but I am unsure if the TPMS is compatible or not. Any help is appreciated, Thanks

    Ok, this has happened several times over the last few car trips I've been on... I make sure tire pressure is adequate (36 Psi), and hit the road. About 4-5 hours after starting out, the TPMS light comes on. Haven't hit anything, tire pressure hasn't dropped. Give it 20 minutes, light starts...

    Im sure this has been asked and covered multiple times, so I apologize for asking again. But If I get new rims and do not want to drop the extra 140-160 for new sensors, is there a fuse or another easy way to bypass the warning light? Also is there a search fuction for this site besides the...

    Hi Guys, Not sure if the TPMS is different year to year. I couldn't find if they were or not. I'm looking for the part number for the TPMS for a 2015 SXL. I'm getting a new set of wheels for the spring/summer (Same OEM 18" Chrome Wheels). My current ones are all curb rashed and have my...

    All 3 of these lights come and stay on while the car is in use. At first it was just sporadic, all the lights would come on, then would turn off car and restart and they'd be off. Now they stay on all the time. Any ideas?

    I just bought a second set of wheels and had some Michelin xIce 3's installed on them. I did not spend too much time thinking about the TPMS. I have naively assumed, the car would simply ignore the lack of sensors or there would be a way to turn the system off. To my horror, there seems to be no...

  12. 4th Generation Optima (2016 - 2020)
    I bought a set of TPMS from Tire Rack for installation on Monday. I needed to mount a set of after market wheels without sensors before I brought it in. I wanted to see how annoying the warning alarm would be. I mounted one tire an drove around the block no sound or warning light appeared. The...

    Last Wednesday night I removed a tire from my 15 Optima t have it replaced. It had a puncture in the sidewall, but the tires have over 2/3 of their life left so I decided to replace just the one tire with the exact same type. On Thursday I brought the tire to TownFair and had it replaced. I...

    Is there supposed to be a dashboard menu that shows the current inflation level? I went back to stock wheels after a few months and I cannot tell if I'm seeing everything I should see. I can't recall if I disabled any screens since for a while the TPMS was annoying and I wanted to turn it off...

    So like the title says. I had to purchase a new battery yesterday and after I put the new battery in all the features for the canbus module quit working. The battery was disconnected for about an hour while I was driving to test the old and get a new one. I was thinking there is a chance the...

    I am not sure what year they started adding the individual tire pressure to the information center but, I know my 2013 does not. Does anyone know of an aftermarket screen that can read the factory sensors? Preferably one that can plug directly into the 12v power adapter like this full kit...
  17. 4th Generation Optima (2016 - 2020)
    Did anyone with a '16 put different wheels on their car yet? It's a little early, but since we just got our Optima I'm thinking of all the things I still need to get for it, and one of those things is wheels and snow tires for next winter! (:angry:) I have a '13 Ram and the TPMS just...
  18. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I have a 2013 SXL. The rim is bent and created a slow leak in the tire. The dealership told me it would be $700 to replace it, but I know there must be a cheaper alternative. I have found some online, but they all seem to be refurbished and do not have the TPMS. I don't need it to be brand new...

    Lets start off by saying Ive had nothing but problems with TPMS sensors going back to 2 cars ago, and yet again it rears up its ugly head... For the winter I bought 2 new snow/winter tires for the front, instead of having to mount and balance them every time I change them out, I decided to buy...
