TPMS - 62 Rapide
Discussion
I've a TPMS error which I don't understand:
I've looked under the dash for the TPMS control box but have a feeling this is elsewhere on the Rapide (hoping not under the rear seats...) unlike other Astons. Any help much appreciated. The thing needs a MOT next month so I need the error gone to pass that IIRC.
- I've checked the tyre pressures and these are correct per the manual
- Tyres are very new - barely any tread used
- The tyre pressures all display on the dashboard and no tyre is identified by the system as being at fault

I have the same issue on my V8 Vantage.
I have been told not to worry, just drive a mile or two and the system will sort itself out. Haven’t been able to confirm this yet as car tucked up for the Winter.
Caused by tyres cooling down while at rest but once on the move they warm up which increases the pressure which the system says is OK after all.
Worth a try? Let us know how you get on, cheers, David.

Unfortunately it is under the rear seats, I have a US Rapide so for me it is on the drivers side but for UK cars I think it'll be the passenger side.
I also had the tyre fault come up, all the pressures are correct but it doesn't go away. I tried unplugging the module and then replugging but to no success. I suspect it may be the batteries in the tire sensor but not sure why it still reads it.
I am going to see if I can find an alternative way of fixing it rather than it go to Aston Main Dealer
Good Luck

Good morning,
I had exactly the same problem with my rapide yesterday.
Tyre system defective message but all pressures displayed.
All were a couple of psi down being a cold morning but correcting them didn’t clear the fault although the pressures displayed were now to spec.
Dropped into Grange AM and they checked it for me . Said it was the sensor batteries even though they were still transmitting the pressures correctly??
Apparently they are on back order of several weeks too.
I drove for about 150 miles yesterday with a stop af a couple of hours but the fault remains.
At least you can get rid of the pressure display and return to the digital speedo by using the trip button. Useful since I am now ‘speed aware ‘ courtesy of NDORS!
