Hello Herman, thanks for taking time to document your adventures. Did you troubleshoot the TPMS using SDD? If so, please describe troubleshooting. Did the module fail to communicate? Any chance that the connector was oxidized? Did you try to reprogram the module before replacing it?
I have not yet invested in SDD. I was getting TPMS error codes on the dash, so I decided to just swap my faulty TPMS control module with a used box off the web for $20. Presto! It worked. No more errors and all tires reporting pressures. But I would like to learn more about SDD.
AAARGH! My F-Type’s replacement TPMS control module failed on me after 1000 miles, so I am back to square one. I may see if the old control modules works … or if these boxes truly go bad frequently. Could it be something in my car that is causing the failure ? (Voltage spike, or the TPMS CM has “fallen down” and the antenna is no longer oriented correctly?)
Ok.. Now I am confused. After returning from a 250 mile road trip, my F-Type’s TPMS control module is working again. (No light on dash, no warning, and it reports the actual tire pressures).
Jeremy Ray from FaceBook F-Type Owners Club saw his TPMS error go away after a full and proper recharge of his car’s battery… similar here after business trip in my car. So the faults could have been battery voltage related.
