[QUOTE="Game-R, post: 638289, member: 27709"] My TPS once got triggered while I was having fun from Bentong to KL. I too immediately pulled over and found that my tires were all inflated and looked fine. But upon closer inspection I found that one tire had a screw embedded deep inside my thread and a bit hard to spot. Strangely though, there was no air leak from around the screw and the tire maintained pressure. I guess the TPS triggered the moment it noticed a drop in pressure when my tires were stressed, but the moment I slowed down the tire sealed up around the screw, but the TPS has already been triggered and remains on. For the older systems, you can reset it by just switching off your ignition and starting the car back up again. Holding down the button would disable the system actually. For the newer systems, holding down the button would reset (or recalibrate) the system to monitor the tires at their current pressure. The owners manual is there for a reason anyway ;) [/QUOTE]
