Tyre pressure abnormalities

[JAD]

I am taking my XPower into the dealers (Holdcrofts Warrington) next week for the following problem. Whilst the app reports that my tyre pressures are normal, I have been getting the following "computer" messages towards the start of all recent journeys, "the right/left rear tyre is abnormal, do you want to check at the service centre?", following not long after by "multiple tyre abnormalities, do you want to check at the service centre". Anyone else had similar messages?

No, but the difference between the cars reading and a trusted Tyre Pressure Gauge is circa 3psi.

No as I always check pressures weekly and have done for many years. Have
you actually checked your tyre pressures with a gauge rather than trust the app etc?

What tyre pressures does it display on the screen (as per 5 below) when you first get in ?

I would try pumping them all up (or down !) to 40psi / 2.7 bar (as per Bricktops vibration tip) and see how you get on ?

I would not increase your tyre pressure in this weather it is dangerous. Let the dealer sort it out as its the 4 motors to the wheels giving the error and not a tyre fault. In the cold weather if you increase the tyre pressure you have less overall surface traction. Im not an authority either its just common sense

I love the way it's showing 120mph and only 63% power, and a range of 148miles with 42% battery, so an overall range in excess of 350miles !!!

That's some going.

I get a warning on my right rear tyre at the startnof every journey as soon as the temp drops. Its bloody annoying

Pumping up to the correct pressure (cold) is a given but if you consistently find one tyre pressure lower than the other three you probably have a slow leak.

... or a sensor that's reading lower than the others.

Same on mine, but after a cold nigh they are all at 2.3 bar and the right rear is the first to be reported, then I get left rear/ multiple tyres. I just add 0.2 bar once the nights get cold and the problem goes away.

I'm only ever used to using PSI, so when people mention 'bar' it throws me a bit, my wife's Mazda shows them in Kpa which really confuses me

Seconded. If you have low tyre pressure you get a quite specific message saying just that - this is almost certainly something else.

kPa (to give the correct assignation*) is bar x 100 .. so 255 kPa is 2.55 bar.

* the Pa relates to Pascal, which is named after Blaise Pascal. Where a name is used then the first letter of the name is capitalised. For example kW and kWh, after James Watt.

Siteguru, thanks for the English lesson, now you see why I failed English 'O' level on more than one occasion

It's not really an English thing, it's an SI units/standardisation thing.
