I am wondering if anyone knows about these tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS).
Long story short....my wife's mini-van (2008 Chrysler Town and Country) needed a tire stem replaced. The threaded part was broken and since we are taking a 900 mile trip to Florida tomorrow I thought it best to get it replaced. (See pic of old stem).
I took the van to the shop and had them replace the stem along with a tire rotation but when I picked it up the system was warning me that the tire where the old stem was - is only showing 1 PSI. The tire where the new stem is now at is showing good at 38 PSI. So are the other three tires. However the mechanic explained to me that I needed to replace the other three stems in order to make the system right. Not sure why? The only thing he would tell me is that it was not allowing him to reset it. - ??? I don't know...it was after 5pm and I could tell he wanted to go home.
Does anyone know of a way for me to fix this or is he right - do I really need to replace the remaining three stems to get rid of this warning message.
