johnridleyThe CX was feeling a little squirrelly on the way home yesterday, the TPMS read 0 PSI on both tires. The sensors had lost sync.
I got them resynced today and determined that the "low pressure alarm" doesn't actually work. This is integrated into an Android Auto screen.
I'm leaving them on for now but I'm ordering a dedicated TPMS display/alarm.
The yak shaving? I tried putting some air in the tires and was getting no flow through my air chuck. Investigation and partial disassembly revealed some insect cocoons in the pressure side. It took picks and some round wire brushes to get it all out, and some brake cleaner just because no job is complete until you spray some brake cleaner on it.
