Apologies if I've duplicated another thread - I did my best to search this up.
Anyways, I'd be appreciative of any thoughts folks might care to share on my situation below.
I have a 2018 Leaf. Recently I had snow tires put on with new rims put on the vehicle. This was done at a local shop.
On the trip home, a low tire pressure warning light appeared on the dashboard. However, when I navigate to the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) I get a message that says the reading will be available when the car is in motion. I get the same message at any driving speed and can't get a numerical reading.
I have checked the tire pressures manually with a hand-held electronic tire pressure monitor and confirmed that the tires are quite close to the recommended 36 PSI. I've been pretty good about keeping them filled uniformly.
But still that error message remains. Am I right that my problem stems from the fact that the new rims do not have tire pressure sensors? Might there be a way to reset the TPMS to remove the error message? How big a deal is it to have the sensors added? Or is it the case that what I should have done was purchased specific rims from Nissan?
Many thanks for your thoughts!
