TPMS Light On After Tire Rotation - 2023 Lucid Air Grand Touring

Vehicle: 2023 Lucid Air Grand Touring

I recently had my tires rotated on my 2023 Lucid Air Grand Touring at an independent shop. Everything seemed fine for a day, but then the TPMS warning light came on, showing incorrect pressures or sometimes no readings for specific tires on the infotainment screen.

I've checked the tire pressures manually with a reliable gauge, and they're all correct according to the door jamb sticker. I also tried driving for a bit, thinking it might reset itself, but the light is still stubbornly on.

Is there a specific reset procedure for the Lucid TPMS after a rotation, or could the sensors have been damaged during the service? I didn't have this issue before the rotation, so it definitely seems related.

ClearTheCode admin answer:

The TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) light illuminating after a tire rotation on your 2023 Lucid Air Grand Touring is a common occurrence. It usually means the system needs to relearn the new positions of the tire sensors, though sometimes it can indicate a sensor issue.

Potential Causes:

  1. Sensor Position Relearn Required: The TPMS control module needs to identify which sensor is at which wheel position after rotation. Many systems do this automatically, but it takes time.
  2. Sensor Damage: While less common, a TPMS sensor can be damaged during tire service if not handled carefully.
  3. Sensor Battery Failure: If a sensor's internal battery is dying, it might fail to communicate reliably, especially after being disturbed.

Troubleshooting & DIY Steps:

  1. Verify Tire Pressures Manually: Double-check all tire pressures, including the spare if applicable, with a reliable gauge. Ensure they match the vehicle's placard (usually on the driver's door jamb).
  2. Complete a Drive Cycle Relearn: Many modern TPMS systems, including Lucid's, will automatically relearn sensor positions after driving for a period. This typically involves driving above a certain speed (e.g., 20-30 mph) for 10-20 minutes. Ensure you've completed a sufficient drive cycle.
  3. Manual Reset (if available): Check your Lucid Air owner's manual for specific instructions regarding a manual TPMS reset button or an option within the infotainment system. Some vehicles allow a user-initiated relearn.

When to See a Shop: If the TPMS light persists after verifying tire pressures and completing a sufficient drive cycle, it's best to visit a Lucid service center or a qualified tire shop. They can use a specialized TPMS diagnostic tool to:

  • Read specific TPMS diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), which can pinpoint issues like a sensor malfunction (e.g., C1290 - Tire Pressure Sensor Malfunction).
  • Identify which sensor is not communicating or is faulty.
  • Perform a forced relearn procedure, which can sometimes resolve communication issues that automatic relearns miss.
  • Check for physical damage to the sensors or issues with the TPMS receiver module. If a sensor's battery has failed, the sensor will need replacement.
