On my '06 612 (3400 mi) under hard acceleration I'll get the "Tyre Puncture" warning for one or more wheels. The tires are fine and a recalibration fixes everything and it stays fine until hard acceleration. Obviously the TPMS sensors are not working as they should. My question is whether this is a typical - "it's a Ferrari, it's gonna do that" quality issue, or my sensors need replacing? I only have 3400 miles on the car so it seems odd they would go, but perhaps the age has worn them down? I'd appreciate your thoughts - thanks! Also, for the TPMS install, do you think its safe for a reputable a non-dealer Ferrari mechanic to install, or is it so complicated I should take it to dealer? Car is now out of warranty.
The batteries inside the TPMS sensors are probably getting to end of life. On a 430, their life is approx. 5 years. If after recalibrating everything works properly for a while, then you get the error again, your problem is likely the batteries.
On mine they changed the units themselves, same on my 599 when the batteries failed. They were warranties ( or so I was told)
Have to ask: How much is "1 large"? If I remember correctly I paid about $200 CDN per sensor installed.
