Rotated tires and low tire light came on.

[demarpaint]

Just my luck. I rotated the tires on my 2000 Century yesterday checked pressure, 35 lbs cold in each tire. I went to check on a job this morning and the low tire light is on. There's no low tire. I'm going to try disconnecting the battery and see if that shuts it off, otherwise it will be something I learn to live with I guess.

Is this a factory TPMS or an aftermarket one?

Factory system.

Found the following link for 2000 Century, though it references aftermarket wheels use, perhaps it may give you some ideas to help with the issue.

I had a 2000 century and it goes off tire diameter and the ABS sensors. So you changed a diameter and it noticed. ^ The above looks like it ought to work.

Same exact 4 tires front to rear rotation. I'll read up on it in the link. Thanks

I always have to reset my TPMS when I rotate tires on our X5.

reset then drive? Had to do that on our old Rav4 to recognise the new wheel positions.

 

[Fleetmon]

Yeah, our BMW requires us to drive it to recognize each wheel position

If you check the owner's manual it probably says to reset the TPMS system after any tire change or rotation. This is a simple task - just a single button is involved.

This generation monitors tire inflation via the ABS system, looking for changes in tire revs/mile of one tire versus its companions. Because of wear and inflation, each tire will have a slight difference in circumference from the others and the sudden change makes the system presume something's wrong. Resetting the system allows it to "learn" what the new pattern and use it as the baseline.
