TPMS Warning

[Superleg48]

Apologies if this has been covered before.

We have a Tyre Pressure Warning on the dash. It is the front offside wheel. The tyre pressures are perfect both the pressure on the display and manually checked.

Driving some distance does not clear it.

Is there a way to reset the TPMS via the onboard system settings like you can with just about every other car I have ever owned with it? For the life of me I can’t find out how to reset.

Also, is this likely to be an issue with the sensor itself?

It is a 2016 DB9 GT Volante with about 10500 miles on it. The car does not get used a great deal, especially at this time of year.

It is booked for an annual service with AM Cambridge shortly, so will report it, but just wondering if it can be reset.

Thanks

Normally, if you get a warning but then pressure is read correctly, it means the battery on one or more sensors are low and you need to replace them.

Read this thread where I explained it, when it happened to me:

A 2016 car should have the later Beru system, so if a new sensor is required it shouldn’t need manual recalibration with a diagnostic tool. It should sort itself out after 10/15 minutes driving. Sounds to me like it could be a faulty sensor, and the battery may have conked out. Is there a fuse that you can pull in an attempt to reset system? Maybe worth a look in the handbook to see if there is a mention of a TPMS related fuse. Hopefully a relatively cheap and easy fix. Good luck.

On a Vantage, I think you hold the Read button down for a while, until the warning goes off.
Hope it might be the same for your car.

Are the sensors short range transmitters so you could use toms sensors from any other age related aston?

Reason i ask, ive bought a set of secondhand wheels / tyres from another same year 2022 DBSSL and was hoping to just bolt the wheels straight on with their existing tpms, would that work or do i need to swap the sensors over from the original wheels?

My response was specific to the car in question, ie 2016 DB9 GT. I’m not sure how the TPMS works in any of the Second Century cars, but I would imagine AM continued with the previous system, or something similar, which would mean coding to a box should not be required, and therefore you should be able to switch your wheels as described, without removing the original sensors. I guess there is only one way to find out, unless you ask your friendly local AM MD first to make sure. Fingers crossed. BRM.

Have a look at an earlier thread:-

If you just swap the wheels over how can the TPMS system know what sensor is front/rear/left or right.

I also purchased the Autel tool as it also shows battery life of each sensor.

Makes sense, superseded by the 508 now i think, maybe this’ll programme the later tpms sensors used as i think they changed? i’ll look into it.. thx..

Ok, I did the swap and because these wheels are in fact directional, they’ve ended up in the same positions on the car.

Now there must have been a change in the type of tpms sensor used by Aston because the car is recognising these previously unknown sensors and alerted me to pump one up, I did so and warning disappeared.

Go figure but I’m happy with that 🙂

Yes, this is the way the TPMS are on my circa 2018 DB11. The system picks up whatever changes are made and resumes with the new sensors (as long as the hrtz is correct). A message comes up and asks if you want to accept the present psi readings as ongoing. This takes nothing more than accepting the request with a push of the button.

Most sports car tyres are asymmetric, the tread is different on the outside of the tyre when compared to the inside of the tyre.

Asymmetric will normally be marked with outside on the outer wall of the tyre whereby directional will just have an arrow on the inside tread pattern or the outer wall.

Used asymmetric tyres on a rim can be swapped on each axle but not advised as the existing wear pattern would be reversed, i.e. swapping an existing offside rim with a nearside rim will actually have the tread pattern going in reverse when driving but the rubber will soon bed in.

Directional and asymmetric tyres marked with outside and an arrow cannot be swapped on the same axle.

As said, wheels are directional, wasnt referring to the tyres, thats pretty much a given
