08 lr3 tire pressure light on service tire pressure monitor on dash

[gmtech]

have 08 LR3 with 160,000 miles. with tire light on. all pressures good in all tires.
has codes C1A58-93 right front tire pressure sensor and C1A58-31 if i clear codes it goes away for 10 miles or so.
senor bad?
if i replaced it what brand are most people using? and do i need to program it? or just drive it 10 miles like the owners manual says?

thanks

It's just the battery in the sensor. They only last 8 to 10 years or so, you got a lot of life out of yours. I don't think the battery is serviceable, I think you need to replace the sensors. It's a good idea to do all 5 while you are there. I suggest buying them direct and then handing them to a tire shop to install. As long as compatible type, they should be "self-programing"

I am technician at a GM shop and do all my own work. what brand sensor? do you have a link to ones you have used? i also have a code for C1a64-93 for spare tire sensor, but have a donut spare so i though that code did not apply to mine. does donut spare have a sensor also?

You ask hard questions. I always had a full size spare under my LR3, so the fifth sensor was active. I am not sure about a doughnut. Truthfully, I didn't think LR3's came with a doughnut spare. As for the sensor brand, I would call a local LR dealer and ask what brand they stock, then find an alternate source online. Atlantic British stocks these: https://www.roverparts.com/wheels-tires/tire-pressure-sensors/LR032836/

Donut spare does not have a TPMS sensor

When my TPMS batteries died I chose to deactivate the system with my GAP tool rather than replace for $$
Also keeps the light off the dash when I air down

dont have a gap tool but i have landrover/jag launch x431 scan tool. how about do you deactivate it with the gap tool?

 

[douglastic]

It's been a while, but basically finding the correct TPMS CCF option - and select "not fitted"
very straightforward

and in case anyone wants help justifying the GAP tool . . .

$85 per sensor x4 = almost 70% the price of the tool
then program yourself a spare $25 ebay key with it, and you're making $

Just old TPMS sensor batteries.
