Nanny-State Tire Pressure warnings

[NachoRuby]

Interesting thread, an excellent example of one man’s trash is another’s treasure. Since my driving focus for the past 55 years or so has been going fast, intentionally wanting to drive with under pressurized tires Is a completely foreign concept. And as a result, I view TPMS as the automotive “sliced bread” achievement not just for the sheer convenience of not having to manually monitor tire pressures every time I want to use my car, but also but to have real time tire monitoring.

I gather Jscan and Tazer are OBD tools. Are these a standalone tool, or PC software with an OBD gateway like Porsche’s PIWIS 3?

Tazer is a standalone plugin module. Jscan is a smart phone app.

Mine does it at exactly 37. I don't have to go over.

For the record, my Tire PSI Nanny also finally shut ? up at 37 and change. Happened immediately.

Now I can lower it to about 34-35 and it shouldn't trigger till I deflate for the beach again.

Unless you have a leak, it won't come on just with temperature changes, unless it's extreme. If you have a leak, the warning is great. It let's you know.

There's no too high warning. It will go off when you inflate to 37, and it won't come back on until it gets down to 31 or 32.

Tazer/jscan can turn it off or change the set level.

mine came on 2 mos after a wheel change. The dealer can’t figure it out. All inflated at 38psi and was still on for two weeks after service. Then back on again and all are still 38psi. Any suggestions??

As long as this thread came up again, Ya know, I was thinking about this the other day, there is one Nanny-State Warning I would like, when I forget to relase the parking break as I start to move - lol...Yep, the symbol on the pannel is good, but this is at least one time that I would (actually) like the annoying audial beeps...I would even go as far as that women in U-Conect yelling at me, "Take off the Parking Break you Idiot!".
