Land Rover TPMS Warning: Trust vs Tire Troubles

Hey there! I can relate to your TPMS situation. I had a similar issue with my 2013 Land Rover LR2 last year. The warning light kept coming on out of nowhere, despite proper tire pressure. After getting it checked, turns out the TPMS antennas were defective and needed replacement. The sensors themselves were fine. It wasn't a serious mechanical issue, more of an annoying electronic gremlin that needed fixing to get rid of that warning light. The repair involved replacing the antenna modules that receive signals from the tire sensors. My mechanic also had to reprogram the new antennas to sync with the existing system. The fix took about 2 hours at the garage. It's not something you want to ignore though, as a working TPMS is important for safety and in many places it's required for passing vehicle inspections. Hope this helps with your decision. Just make sure to find a shop that specializes in Land Rovers.

Hey again! Thanks for sharing your experience with the TPMS antenna issue. I actually went through something really similar with my Freelander. By the way, do you remember roughly how much you paid for the antenna replacement? Just curious to compare costs. Also, has everything been working smoothly since the repair, or have you noticed any other quirks with the system?

Hey! Happy to update you on the costs and results. I paid exactly 255.00 € to get those pesky TPMS antennas replaced. And I'm glad to report it was totally worth it, the system has been working perfectly since the repair! No more unusual warning lights popping up on my dashboard to freak me out. It's such a relief not having to deal with those false alarms anymore. The tire pressure monitoring has been spot-on reliable since I got it fixed. Honestly, it was one of those repairs that was a bit pricey but solved the problem completely. My LR2 is running great now, and I can actually trust the TPMS warnings when they come on (though thankfully, they haven't!). Funny how these electronic gremlins can be so annoying, but once you get them sorted with the right fix, they're gone for good. Have you gotten yours looked at yet?

Thanks for those details! Yeah, I finally took the plunge and got mine fixed yesterday after getting tired of that annoying warning light. Found a good independent mechanic through a recommendation. Turns out my issue was also the TPMS antennas, just like yours! They charged me about the same as what you paid. The mechanic was really transparent about the whole process, showed me the old parts, and explained everything clearly. Such a different experience from my last mechanic disaster! The repair took about two hours, and I've been monitoring it since, no more false alarms! The dash is finally warning-light-free, and I can actually trust the system now. It's funny how we hesitate over these repairs because of past bad experiences, but sometimes you just need to find the right mechanic for the job. Really appreciate you sharing your experience, it gave me the confidence to get this sorted! Money well spent in my opinion.
