Hi
I have a warning that my rear left tyre pressure is low. I get it now on every trip. It was at 78, so I inflated to 80. Lost a bit of air so it went down to 79.8, got the warning again so upped it to 81. I'm still getting the warning.
I cant seem to find the Elddis plate that advises tyre pressure, only the standard Peugeot Boxer one, which isn't what I want.
Any advice? Its an Elddis Majestic, 155, 2 berth. There is never much weight in the van as I only use it for long weekends and the annual trip to France! (I do take 2 bikes on the rack though)
Thanks!

Is it a Fiat built-in system or an after market one such as Tyrepal?

Sorry i don’t know but I would run at the recommended pressure and not drop by 15psi for a softer ride. Under inflated tyres are dangerous, there are a few on here who would disagree but they are wrong
Please don’t reply to argue this fact as it will distract from the Op’s question

Hi icantremember - not sure if Fiat or after market but the warning came up on the dashboard (by where the engine management light would appear). Its on a Peugeot Boxer base.
This is the only plate with tyre pressure that I could find.

After inflating to the correct pressure you may have to drive about for (20 miles?) to reset the system

I've driven quite a few miles since, been on three trips since it first occurred.
Funny thing is, when I mentioned it to the garage who services my MoHo they said 'Ah it could be the cold'. Not much help there :)

Who said 65psi is wrong?

The pressure will increase with temperature but shouldn’t affect the tyre pressure monitoring system

When I had an Accordo those pressures above gave an awful ride. Dropped them all by 7 which didn’t upset the TPMS but gave a much better ride. 65 on the front, 72 on the rear.

I just want to so the warning beeps :LOL:
It gives us non mechanic types undue worry!

I stand to be corrected but I think a trip to Peugeot £££££ maybe in order, or try a local independent tyre place

Do you know if it will reset itself if you drop the pressures from 80 to 65 psi as that’s what i’m planning on doing

No it won't reset. If you drop it to 65 you will get a warning
To reset it to a lower pressure you need your tpm reprogramming which is expensive .

It has 79.5 on the indoor plate of tyre pressure! I'm thinking then maybe a sensor is faulty?

It will be a faulty sensor.
Swap it out for the spare wheel and see.
Needs a short while to reset.
Ours had the same problem. Same van 2016 vintage.

edit: ours is the autoquest

I have the fiat system and can reduce mine from 80 to 70 PSI without a warning - any lower and the warning comes on.
I have on one occasion "lost" the NSR, but it came back on by itself some time later. I wonder if it was a wireless issue due to the NSR sensor being the greatest distance from the control unit,?

If you have changed nothing it might be a fault with the sensor for example the battery in the valve might need replacing depending on what system you have fitted. Just searched for tpms service and protyre have got this offer on at the moment. https://www.protyre.co.uk/garage-services/free-tpms-check.

If it's a Peugeot Boxer base the TPMS has to be reset using software (Diagbox or maybe Multiecuscan).
There are two settings per tyre, cold and hot.
Protyre knew nothing about resetting my Peugeot Elddis 285 so I got the help from a member on here who had the software.
Peugeot wanted something like £300 to reset it!

This may sound stupid, and I apologise if so, but are you sure you've not got a slow puncture? My advice is to take it to a tyre place and get them to check the tyre. I had the tyre pressure indicator alert come up on my car. Checked, it only had lost a couple of PSI. Couldn't see any damage to tyre. Adjusted. Carried on. A few days later the warning came up again. Happened to be passing a tyre place so diverted in. Vehicle on ramp. Nail in tyre in a place I would never have seen it during usual checks. Tyre sorted out, pressure warning indicator reset. No problem since.
