My warnings come on most weeks but all false alarms. All 4 lights came on while going very slowly over a speed bump.I do not want this system on my next car. I carry gloves in the car just for this.:

On my old XC90 I have had a tyre pick up a screw and it had a slow leak. And another tyre lost air for no reason. I wish I had TPMS but I do not.
TPMS does work and is very useful.

Had this happen yesterday, mid way through a 200mile trip all 4 showing lost pressure. We pulled into a service station and checked, but all 4 were fine, so recalibrated and set off with no trouble. The only factor that I could think of that made me wonder, was that this happened just after it started to rain. Now please be gentle with me as this is a new motor and haven't experienced any of these fancy computer programmed things before, but, could it have been possible that the rain cooled the tyres down, reducing the pressure and activating the system? Now I am going to dive for cover before the salvo starts, lol

I had the short lived 'in tyre' TPMS and it was such pain with almost daily alerts. Particularly in the summer months. Tyres in the sun would trigger the system, a complete nuisance. If they could predict an imminent blowout (which none can) I would have lived with it but in the end got it disabled.
The rotational ABS system however is much better which presumably is why Volvo ditched the in tyre sensor system. |
