TPMS Issue

The TPMS recently indicated that my tyre pressures were a little low, varying between -1/-3 psi. The system was set at 20", Summer, Comfort.

Accordingly, I topped up the pressures, then took the car for a drive to recheck the indications on the TPMS. These were now indicating slightly high. I deselected 'Comfort' to see how this would compare.

I then received a message saying that TPMS was unavailable, it would relearn after exceeding 15mph. This was accompanied by an amber 'Tyre' symbol.

I took the car for another drive, but the tyre pressures did not reappear & the messages continued.

Someone suggested changing the tyre size in the settings to see if this would restore the function. I changed it to 19", went for a drive & the pressures reappeared.

I then changed it back to the correct setting (20"), but the pressures disappeared again.

I then tried various different tyre sizes, but have been unable to get the pressures to reappear.

Any suggestions, please?
 
You do need to drive it for a little while for the TPMS to re-learn. Try driving to the shops and back and see if that works.

Thanks Dan, I'll give that a try. I have read elsewhere that it can take up to 30 miles before the system is restored.

I have seen another suggestion to deflate the tyres somewhat, then reinflate before driving which apparently helps wake up the sensors. I'll try both...
 
Following as I have a TPMS isse

The dash display shows a variance between left and right but my own tyre pressure gauge shows they are the same pressure??
