Check system + tire pressure light comes on after replacing navigation?
Hi everyone,
So my navigation unit on my 2007 IS250 is dead so I replaced it with an used 2006 model from Ebay. Right after I install the new unit, the check system light with pressure light comes on. Is that a normal problem for changing the whole navigation unit?
So I look up in the manual and this combination of light is because I have either low pressure or bad sensor.
I tried to check all pressure of 4 wheels and they are all fine. I haven't check the spare tires tho. Then I took the car to a local shop, they checked for the sensor and told me 2 of them are dead. They said replacing them would fix the problem but the sensor cost $198 a piece without labor. I was like LOL just kidding.
Does anyone here have any experience with changing the whole navigation unit that would cause this problem? Please let me know

I don't think that changing your navigation system had anything to do with it. This sounds like a TPMS problem. "Check system" means that the system isn't seeing all four sensors (the spare doesn't have one); you'd see "Low tire" if it were a pressure problem. Sometimes this comes up if somebody accidentally changes to the alternate set of sensors using the <O> controls to the left of the steering wheel. If it's not that, the local shop may be right and it could be one or more dead sensors. They have lithium batteries and are supposed to last 10 years, but might have failed prematurely.

Definitely something that I never thought of, even though I remember myself plug in everything very carefully, it's a pain in the *** having to take those vents out. I will keep that in mind if I have sometime to check it out

The local shop definitely said that there were two sensors that went bad. They checked it with their little tool so it might be it. It might be just myself I just can't believe it yet, 198$ a piece without labor? They said 220 is everything for one piece. Is there anywhere that I can find cheaper sensor? 400 bucks just to turn the light off is a bit for me right now lol
