TPMS

Going to be programming my TPMS and was wondering what number you guys and gals use as the high limit of the temperature alarm. Since I am not sure what it is set at now I want to go back into the unit and set it or at the very least double check it.

Thanks in advance for all of the help. It is greatly appreciated.

  • TST tells you to leave it at 158 unless you have specific numbers that you know you want.
    I left mine at the 158 number.

    My TST TPMS came preset to 158 degrees F, and I left it there. It did alarm for temperature once. I had a brake drum dragging and it saved me from an RV fire. I had Ford replace the brakes on that tire and have had no further alarms.

    I figure that driving 65mph on a 100 degree day, the tires get to 110 or so. That means less than 50 degrees more to alarm.
  • I didn't know mine had an upper temp setting. Maybe I should go look. That would be handy as I look at the temp all the time, hoping a fried bearing would raise the temp.
