• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

After a couple of long 10 plus hour drives, my tire sensors give me a fault of non reading error. Usually came after a few hours but would reset when the car would stop for a few minutes. These are with the stock 20 wheels on the SX 2020. I chalked it up to possible a bad wheel sensor. I installed my winter tires mounted on KIA 18 wheels and Kia OE sensors installed. The sensors came right up with the correct readings. The problem is, still getting the same error after driving. So I think I have eliminated the wheel sensors at this point. Anyone else have a problem with this that they can share? No other electronic problems to speak of I have an appointment with KIA next week and they are already quoting me a "possible" $135 diagnostic charge which for a new warranty car is ridiculous. I am going to show up, have no errors to demonstrate and paying them the money isn't going to happen. As always, there seems to be plenty of more knowledgeable minds here that I generally get from my visit to the dealer.
 
Beuller? Haha. Just did a 2 hour trip, sensors lost signal after an hour :( I called the dealership and they can offer no answers. Not going to waste the time and money when the solutions I'm getting is to put air in the tires.
 
Only way to find out is probably to replace one part at a time to figure out what is faulty.
