TPMS on i-MiEVs

Yes, I'll do. But I need to wait for the weather. Maybe I underestimate the small size of wheels and indeed the temperature makes a difference. Other cars have different tire's profile, so they can act differently with low pressure level.

I dont know if someone is interested - I found sequence for registering new TPMS set (for outlander MY14.5) but I believe it can be very similar on i-mievs.

I am interested in putting just sensor's ID into ECU instead of re-learning procedure. Anyone could help with that?

You could inflate the tyres to 2.6bar to see if that makes a difference when it gets colder again?

2.6 front, 2.4 rear. Few nights with 0 to -4 C. No dashboard light any more. Looks like I underestimate it, and TPMS reacts faster than I expected. Let's see how winter will go, however..... Most probably I'll not use car much. Not because of battery, which seems to be quite ok, but because of miserable traction on frozen hilly roads.

… of miserable traction on frozen hilly roads.

… isn’t that more a tyre issue?

Make sure your 12V aux is on a trickle charger if not in use for a few months…

Definitely. Tires are too small, and car is too light, comparing to proper 4x4 I'm using in parallel ;-)
