entire tire...no, but the bead still has to be broken to slide the tire away from the tmps. Most shops will still charge you a dismount/mount fee.

my suggestion, find a shop that won't charge you dismount/mount fee.

I have the exact same problem with my car. I was at the dealership yesterday and the technician saw it. He told me to set up my tires at 35 and I told him I did but it never went away. The light turns on/off gradually when I start up the car the first 30 seconds and then stays lit. Technician believes one of the tire sensors is out of order and that it costs $240 to replace but told me they could possibly do it for free. Am I missing out on something?

Well depends if you are still under warranty or not. They are most likely going to replace all 4 because its very hard to tell which senor is bad.

The technician told me that the scanner would show what sensor is down. The problem is annoying me. It has been for two weeks now.

I don't have sensors at all in my new wheels, so I was wondering if I had to disconnect the sensor receiver through the OBDII port or if there were any other tricks to turn it off.
