Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / October 2007tyre pressure sensors
Hi Everyone I've got a 407 with pressure sensors on the tyres. I had a tyre replaced recently at a tyre dealer , and now the dashboard display comes up after a few minutes running saying 'the tyre pressure(s) are not monitored. ' Talking to a parts dept they tell me the new sensor is £56 + vat to buy and I presume there will be a fitting charge. So I'm looking at a £100 bill I expect. Anyone else had experience of this? Any advice? > Hi Everyone > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Anyone else had experience of this? Any advice? Simple question, is the sensor plugged in? Presumably there is a wire running to the axle and then some sort of capacative or inductive coupling to the sensor in the wheel [1]. So did thetyre fitter inadvertantly disconnect the wire. It would only take a few minutes to pop the wheel off and check.

It would only take a few minutes to pop the wheel off and check. It's a little plastic black box about the size of a swan vestas match box inside the tyre connected to the valve. Presume it's a little wireless transmitter. When the tyre was fitted the company did warn that it was possible the sensor would be damaged so I can't argue with them. As they had`fitted 2 tyres ok a month before I thought they would do the same.. > Simple question, is the sensor plugged in?

I wonder where it gets its power from?  SignatureMalc Hey there girlie with the torn dress, shaking: who was it touched you? Who was it ruined your day? Whose footprint calling card? And what they want, stepping on your beach anyway? >Hi Everyone > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >Anyone else had experience of this? Any advice? The sensor was ripped off by an incompetent tyre fitter when they changed the tyre. You have four choices: 1/ Ignore the warning. 2/ Have the dealer reprogram the car so the warning isn't given. 3/ Get the tyre fitters company to pay for a new sensor to be fitted. 4/ Pay for it yourself. As I bought my Citroen (same system as Peugeot I believe) second hand with tyre sensors ripped off by an incompetent tyre fitter I opted for 2.

Just spoken to a Peugeot dealer Diagnostic fee then parts purchase and fitting and reprogramming fee. About £180 - £200 they reckon. More than the tyre cost! Methinks I'll ignore the messages for a while. > Hi Everyone > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Anyone else had experience of this? Any advice? > Something similar happened to me whem my 407 was run over by a Dutch artic! The nearside rear wheel had to be replaced and ever since I got the same message. Time passed. I learned to ignore the warning. I was suddenly taken ill and was in hospital for some time. When I came out I was unable to drive for 2 months. When I finally got into the car the battery was flat so I recharged it, which meant disconnecting it. In the handbook it says if you disconnect the battery you have to wait a few moments after first switching on to reset the computer. Since then the message has gone away! I still get the tyre pressure check telling me "pression ok" so maybe it's just a case of rebooting the computer? Bob > maybe it's just a case of rebooting the computer? > > Bob Intriguing, I'll give it a whirl. I wouldn't put it past a dealer to charge £80 to diagnose you need a reboot and then £50 to reprogram by disconnecting and rebooting it!
