Expert Answers about TPMS Sensor


  • Troubleshooting A PressurePro TPMS Sensor That Isn't Reading Pressure
  • Since you swapped out the PressurePro FX 4 TPMS for RVs and Trailers # 372FX4K sensor with another and still got an error with just that one wheel you most likely just have a bad valve core and it's not allowing air to pass through to the sensor for it to properly read the pressure. I recommend first replacing the valve core and if that doesn't solve the issue then fully replace the valve stem.

  • Troubleshooting A TST Internal Sensor That Randomly Turns On/Off And Gives False Readings
  • If one of the sensors in your TST TPMS # TST-507-INT-6-C is randomly turning off/on and only reading 1 or 00 for the tire pressure that leads me to believe the battery is dying and not allowing the sensor to properly operate. The batteries are expected to have a 3-5 year lifespan, but there are instances where the battery could prematurely expire. If you were having issues with more than one sensor then it would most likely be a signal issue, but with it being just one it's got to be a...

  • Double Beep Heard When Coding Sensors on the TST TPMS TST-507
  • I suppose it is possible for the batteries to be dead in your new sensors but this is unlikely. However, I took a look in the manual for the TST TPMS for RVs part # TST-507-RV-4-C and on page 5 it states the following: "Note: If a double beep is heard and the “FFF FFF” does not change, try quickly pushing the “CODE” button once again. This may have to be done a few times for the code to appear. If the sensor does not code, check the battery voltage, be sure other sensors are not close...

  • Does Tire Linc TPMS Need Trailer Wiring Plugged in to Connect
  • The sensors of the Tire Linc TPMS part # LC37VR are battery operated but the signal repeater/booster does require power to operate and give the range needed for your phone. If you wanted to have the system still work when not plugged into the trailer wiring you could install the repeater on the vehicle wiring instead.

  • Replacing Damaged or Lost Sensor on TST TPMS TST-507-FT-6-C
  • According to my contact at TST, there are two scenarios that would indicate a sensor failure on your TST TPMS # TST-507-FT-6-C. If the battery is dead or sensor communication is interrupted temporarily, lines or dashes "---" are displayed for that sensor on the monitor. Since the battery life on the system can be anywhere from 12 to 18 months, this is unlikely. Also, the system automatically refreshes to display new information every 5 minutes, so the dashes would not be displayed for...

  • Why Does My Internal Tire Sensor for TST TPMS Systems # TST-507-INT-S1 Keep Alerting?
  • I have a solution for you. I went ahead and contacted my tech at Truck System Technologies, and he said that the RV does not have to be in motion before the Internal Tire Sensor for TST TPMS Systems # TST-507-INT-S1 accurately reports the data. As far as your alarm issue, it often happens when the monitor is not set up correctly with the axles of your RV and/or trailer. In order to correct this, each tire must be programmed for the axle that it is on (the high pressure and low pressure...

  • Can TST TPMS Monitor Brightness Be Manually Adjusted
  • The brightness on the TST color displays, like what comes with the TST TPMS for RVs # TST-507-FT-6-C, have an auto-adjust setting for the monitor so there isn't a way to manually adjust this. Since you're having issues with it not being bright enough you may need to change the location of the monitor. There is an "eye" sensor on the back of the monitor that can sense how bright the surroundings are so if the back of the monitor is in a cubby or shadow then you need to move it so it sees...

  • Troubleshooting TST Wireless Tire Pressure and Temperature Monitoring System
  • For the TST TPMS for RVs, # TST-507-FT-6-C ensure the battery is reading over 3 volts, replace with a new battery if low voltage. If the battery for all sensors are of sufficient power, try recoding the sensor. This is displayed on page 7 of the Wireless Tire Pressure and Temperature Monitoring System Instruction Manual. I have linked a copy below.

  • TST Pressure Giving High Readings
  • Most of the time when the temperature readings are off with the # TST-507-RV-4-C it is due to interference, generally if you are by a rig with the same type of system. A rebooting of the system will generally fix this, but if not then a warranty claim is appropriate.

  • Troubleshooting One Trailer Tire Heating Up Internally Faster Than The Other
  • With the temperature of the Westlake ST235/75R15 Radial Off-Road Trailer Tire # WST54FR rising so much higher than the other tire it worries me that there is something off with one of the tires. Trailer tires will typically rise the same temperatures unless there is something causing more friction on one tire than the other. This could be caused from the spindle being bent, hub bearings not set correctly, or even a case of one trailer brake dragging or not engaging properly. I recommend...

  • Understanding Pressure Rating and Temperature of Trailer Tires
  • Irregardless of the ambient temperatures, we always recommend you fill the tires to the max psi listed on the sidewall while cold. This max psi rating will account for the psi increase as they warm. Unfortunately, there is not a standard psi/temperature in which a tire becomes unsafe to drive on as most of them have different ratings specified by the manufacturer. The pressure ratings set by the manufacturer takes into account many variables. If there is a max psi and temperature range...

  • Troubleshooting Remote Disconnecting from Blue Ox Patriot Braking System
  • I spoke with my contact at Blue Ox who said that the they haven't had any calls come in yet about the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR having issues with the remote connecting to the main unit but that the original Patriot did have a connection issue that was not unheard of. Unfortunately there isn't a signal booster available. Regardless, the solution would be the same. She said to move it as close to the driver's side window as possible (which you already did) and then you can try raising it...
