You can thank our wonderful government for that. It's required by law since 2007 or 2008.

ding ding ding ding, correct. Pretty soon, with driver-less cars, what will you do when you direct your car to a destination and the car says no? Will you feel good getting into an airplane with no cockpit or pilots? AI is a much bigger threat than most people realize. It will be making decisions for us with no way out if you disagree with the "Master Control Program".

This is especially true for toyotas. Most after the mid 2000s have a sensor in the spare, even a donut. Many other brands only put them in full sized spare, which are now the exclusive domain of trucks and full framed SUVs, and even those sometimes have a donut.

I'm in a Toyota. I'm not dropping the spare so the lights going to have to stay on for a while

yeah, the winch only holds it tight if you face the valve stem up and away from where you can easily fill it. We have people come by our shop all the time for a quick tire pressure check, only to get mad when I won't drop their spare. Niggers can't be choosers, cheapskate!

Which is why you should always drive an older car and save your money. Be a man and learn how to work on it. And not worry about a whole bunch of fucking idiot faggot lights giving you warnings all the fucking time.

In this day, it’s nearly impossible to drive a car with no idiot lights. I have an obdii scanner mechanics use to scan codes. If I could, I’d have an 85 wrangler or something like that.

I been watchin this guy on jewtube Doug demuro I’m not real into cars but this guy is really interesting to watch. I want a green van. I want a car I can sleep it. Like my Durango. Before I totaled it. I always assume I’ll be homeless one day.

So why not check it once you really need the spare?
Oh I know, because money.

As much as you all hate on shit tire pressure sensors are the right direction. They don't control anything just display information. Use that information to improve your fuel economy and avoid flat tires and blow outs or don't. You can still choose to drive around on low tires if you can ignore that light.
Yep. Proper tire pressure is one of the most cost effective ways to improve fuel economy. If I ruled the world, every gas station would be required to provide customers with free access to an air compressor

They aren't bad until the spare tire is monitored too. Now I have to drop it, pull it out, fill it, lay under the car to hook it up and then crank it back into place. The good thing is that its my wife's car and I don't have to look at the light for the next 6 months while it doesn't get fixed.

The other alternative is you bitching you had to go rescue your wife because she had a blow out from low tire pressure and her spare was flat.
Speaking of which why does she drive? Is your kitchen that far away?
[–] Ihateyuppies 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
No not true many manufacturers will make the car go in limp mode when the tps light comes on. Some even disable the traction control.

I hate the tire pressure indicators.
Tom Brady hates them worse.
