Default My wife came home tonight with the tire light glowing...

I check air pressure and all 4 are good. I guess I have a bad TPM. Is this a very expensive deal? Is there a used market for TPM's?

thanks

The light has a lot to do with outside temperature etc. It will probably be out in the AM if not check with the dealer. The TPM sensors (4 are $600) are expensive and are paired up to each individual car. So changing one you have to program it to the car. The setting switch has two positions (GS300 AWD) so you can switch tire sets.

If the car is not more then 4 years old or rather the warranty is still good, bring it into the dealer and they will replace it free. These things are suppose to last 10 years before going bad.
