TPMS Issue

[Jack Stone]

I do recall there being something in the settings screen to choose units of measurement (for miles/km psi/bar etc etc)

Thanks. Found it. Not sure how or why it randomly switched to bar in the first place 🤔

I had this same issue. Front left saying it was low pressure despite it being the same as front right. About 100miles later, all 4 were then saying they were low, despite reading 2.0 front and 2.2 back. No obvious way to manually reset, so I just gave each tyre the smallest pump of air (machine agreed all pressures were correct) and then restated the car and all now reading OK! I’ll get Lotus to take a look when it goes in for it’s first service (along with a few other small electrical problems!) but seems to now behave itself.

Well, I had the same issue. Here’s my story:
The “low tire pressure” light came on. Checked pressures and filled to the correct pressures: 29psi front, 32 psi rear. Multiple starts and drives after that. Tire light always flashes for about a minute on start up, then stays illuminated. Took car to dealer. Dealer “re-set” the calibration/light and light went out. Told me to drive continuously at 40 km (25 mph) or more for 10 minutes. This was easy, since I had a 30 minute drive home on the freeway. Just before getting home, the light came back on. Contacted the dealer. They are ordering all new sensors and will notify me when they get in. To be continued………

Usually you have to add about 3 more psi to each tire, and drive around with that for a bit, then lower the pressure to normal. That's always worked for me to get the TPMS light to go out.

LoL.. same thing just happened to me today. Car is at 250 km and suddenly light came on. Have driven another 30km and hasn't gone away. Will try changing tire pressure and starting car again. Glad everyone has had some experience with this already.

Folks, mine had the same issue and the TPMS was faulty even after the reset. The Lotus service team in AUS hunkered down and found the issue with my car.
There was condensation / water in the tyre airspace which was causing the sensors to be faulty or fail. Whether this was from the factory or not is unclear - but the tyres were removed and the wheel and tyres internally dried, the sensors were replaced and Ive had no problems for 6 months. This could have been a one off, but worth noting for a persistent problem.

Other than that and software updates, the car is a peach !

Cheers.

Oh I must of posted in another thread on this topic as I had 100% the same issue and outcome with water in the tyres. Replaced sensors, dried and never had an issue again
Also Australian dealer. Unsure where water came from. Perhaps air compressor
Edit:
More posts and info in this (and other) threads - this is a link to my situation and fix

Tire pressure icon on dash won’t go away

My tire pressure icon (tire with exclamation point in middle) is illuminated on my dash. My tire pressure might have been a little low. I aired up the tires to slightly above the recommended pressures. Been driving the car. The icon stays on. Am I missing something?

Adding my experience as well... I also had my tpms light flash and stay on for weeks even after many drives and adding 2-3 more psi in each tire. Then with the weather getting warmer I had my car sitting outside in direct hot sun for several hours and upon starting the light was gone. That was a couple weeks ago and it has not returned since. Not sure if I had moisture as well but it evaporated with the heat or the lotus gods just decided to give me a win.
