| Description of the problem | Tpms tire pressures do not appear on instrument panel. The pressures are in the computer, but never appear on the screen. The driver does not know whether tpms indicates a fuel economy issue, or an emergency. The "low tire pressure" display shows a large box on the display. That should have a number at each corner indicating the tire pressure, in green for ok, yellow for slightly low, and red for emergency. This would help the driver evaluate a tire problem and decide how to deal with it safely. Tpms has lit up when i'm in the left lane in heavy traffic. Do i have to get to the shoulder asap, or can i fill the tires when i get home? With the current system, i don't know. This could be fixed with a software update, no hardware changes needed. |
