re: Are tire pressure monitoring systems a scam?

It’s the sensor. Which one? No telling but you can thank Firestone and Ford for this shite. There is a scanner that’s expensive that can tell you if a sensor is bad. But most of the time it’s the mexicans ripping them out when you get new tires. But I feel your pain not being able to turn the damn light off. But that’s govt mandate.

Things made by man will fail.

I think Toyotas are notorious for sensors failing.
My Sequoia is blinking right now. I had a sensor replaced previously and it was outrageously expensive. I’m letting this one blink. Electrical tape makes a nice cover to block the blink.
The Sequoia is almost 20 years old though, so there is that. It has been a good vehicle.

Not a scam.

The tire pressure monitoring system measures differences in rotation speed between the different wheels via the ABS system in order to be able to determine whether they have the correct tire pressure. If the tire pressure is too low, the tire's diameter is changed and, as a result, so is its rotation speed.
Pontiac used to do the same thing.

The TPMS in that tire has gone bad. Only $100 and 30 seconds of work to replace.
