Question
bobejones
Wife was in the 08 Tahoe. I was not aboard so getting reliable explanation of the chain of events is sketchy... She called during a road trip and indicated the low tire icon was lit. It is unclear if it was "low tire" or a "service TPMS" warning. I told her tires needed physical inspection before proceeding. She indicated all tires looked fine (doubt it). An hour later she suffered a blow out. I rescued her and inspected the mess. The TPMS was still intact, no wheel damage, and I considered the TPMS was likely still ok as there was no visible damage.
After the replacement tire was installed, I noticed the sensor was not sending data and only getting dashes in the display for that wheel.
I cannot be sure if the tire house damaged something, if the sensor really is toast, or if I need to wake it up somehow? I suspect it should be working by now and the fault should auto correct?
With no physical damage, I can only suspect either damage from tire install or possibly the heat that caused the tire failure also took out the TPMS?
Thoughts?
