Suzuki TPMS

My Suzuki did its favourite thing this morning and told me that the tyres were low pressure (cold weather) -  however the rear right reset itself after a drink of air
The front right is showing 35 and is considered low - whereas the front left is just 33 and is acceptable - what's going on ?
The front right has been given a drink but won't reset !
 

If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.

    Look on guide that will be on on of the door pillars for the correct pressure & adjust to that.

    We put both front up to 38 – which did it !

    It doesn’t explain why the FLHS was shows 33 and didn’t alert yet the FRHS alerts at 35 !!

    You have to drive for ages at The Secret Suzuki Speed (possibly 20mph- it is in the handbook) before it resets, yet it will alarm within a few feet as soon as it gets cold.

    No doubt mine will do the same on Saturday unless this cold snap goes.

    If you mess with the user settings menu there are some settings for the alarm thresholds, mine has comfort (high pressure) and normal (even higher pressure).


    The one on the Citroen is much better, it just compares the wheel speeds, so as they all go down together it hasn't alarmed today.
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))

    Not sure what model you have, but this is an annual problem with the Ignis. Solution is pump all tyres up two psi above the recommended level. Then drive for a couple of miles, always cures it.

    Does your car have a TPMS reset button?

    Maybe the last time it was done there were different pressure in the front tyres.
