Hi guys,
Just thought I would run this by to see if anyone has had this before.
Yesterday, rear tyres were low so had new tyres fitted and also asked the fitter to swap the rear wheels with the front wheels so the new rubber on the front (I have my reasons).
When I then came to drive the car, started it up and ALL the warnings on the dash were going mad!
Active Cruise Control UnAvailable
Hill Assist UnAvailable
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Failed
Stability Control UnAvailable
and probably even more...
Once I started to drive, some of them went off but ACC was still not available and TPMS was flashing crazy.
After some miles, I pulled over and tried to store the pressures in the system as I thought the fitter had missed swapping the front and rear pressures over. The car said it was unable to store the pressures.
This morning I checked all 4 pressures and only 1 (front right) was 3 psi too low - I pumped it up and then was able to store the pressures in the system and no warnings being displayed.
Just wondering if anyone else has come across this when swapping front and rear tyres over?
Also, the TPMS per wheel - is this in the valve or a "unit" stuck to the wheel (inside the tyre)?
Thanks guys ...
