Re: Rattles squeeks knocks and bangs

I've got one really annoying noise that is consistent everyday and I can't find a way to get rid of it. If the windows are up and the stereo is on I don't hear it but if the windows are down it's hard to ignore. It's like a ticking/rattling/buzzing coming from underneath the car when the engine is i...

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

red I guess you missed my post on the previous page haha. I just had a Schrader 28308 sensor installed this past weekend. After they installed it I did the air release trick with learning mode and my Kizashi read it like a normal sensor. I highly recommend it if you're looking for rubber coated stem...

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

Another valve stem has snapped off at the threads taking the needle core with it. I know where this is going, and it's not good. It's just a matter of time before the 4th one does it. Amazon says this is compatible with the Kizashi, but I'm hesitant. Doe anyone know of any plastic/rubber valve stem...

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

Shop got it ...

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

This is the song that never ends. TPMS related issues are really getting me frustrated. Now my valve stems are corroding and leaking! One of them completely snapped off around the threading taking the needle core with it two months ago. I have another one which is leaking where the valve stem bolts ...

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

Thanks again SamirD! I thought for sure I was going to be out >$300 because of the TPMS issue. In three different posts here have I read about Suzuki dealers trying to screw us on this. I was so glad your theory worked, it's been three days and 120 miles on the road since I fixed it myself and no is...

Re: Kizashi TPMS

SamirD...you sir...ARE THE MAN!!! I followed your advice and took my time to practice the learning mode pattern. I found for me the best way was to slightly close the door, so i could use the handle to operate the door light switch instead of reaching behind and to the left. A little trial and error...

Re: Kizashi TPMS

Thanks, I'll ask them about the OBD cable. I've tried the learning mode myself but as cold as it's been outside I haven't had much patience for it, I'll keep trying. How do I know when it's in learning mode? The TPMS service light comes on regardless because nothing is registered at the moment (than...
