TPMS on Seltos

They come with the car and are attached to the wheel. TMPS is notoriously inaccurate in cold weather. Drive for a bit and it should turn off. The car takes a reading to update the system at like 10 miles or something like that.

Here is the strange part.When I had my winter tires installed I didn't have the sensors installed in them.The dealer said my light would come on in a short time.It came on today 2 1/2 months later.Any advice?

That’s really weird... Seltos ships from the factory with TPMS - it’s not an optional extra, at least in the US. It’s worth checking with your dealer to confirm but I’m pretty sure they’re gonna say it’s equipped.

It was your dealer who did your winter changeover? And you’re using the OEM wheels that came with the car, correct?

Sorry but have to clarify that.I am using aftermarket tires on steel rims with no sensors.I did not want to pay for 4 new sensors to put in my winter tires.My OEM rims and tires do have the sensors.

Ah. Well they could have probably transferred the OEM sensors... Discount tire here does it for ~$5/wheel.

There’s probably not a fuse to pull as I’d expect the system to run through the BCM. Might just have to live with it for now and consider swapping your sensors over next year

I did the same and just got the warning today after getting my snows on a couple days ago. Did you end up just living with the warning light? Will it beep every time you drive to tell you to "Check TPMS System"? That will annoy the heck out of me.

I have my winter tires on for about two weeks now with no sensors in them and no warning light yet.Like I posted above it took approx 2 months last winter for the warning light to come on.Sooo that tells me that maybe the TPMS is not working like it should.When it did come on their are no beeps but a flashing warning light that turns solid once you start driving.Hope this helps.

Thanks. I notice it only shows as a warning when starting the car and the light just stays on. Hopefully, your TPMS is working alright when you switch back to your original tires!
