My TPS light is on but none of the others. I checked my pressure and one of the tires is at 44 and all the others are at 30. Will the one at 40 cause the light to be on. I get it back from paint today or tomorrow and will deflate the ont tire back down to 30 to match the others.

Have you checked fuses? I'm thinking of the famous fuse 17. It would disable ESP, TCSand ABS but I'm not certain if that would give the rest of the indications. If I disable ESP with my Predator tuner, it lights up a bunch of warning lights. Since this happened suddenly in the middle of a more extreme maneuver, maybe HAL threw in the towel.

It's a quick check that wouldn't hurt and could be a cheap fix.

73dart, Since your TPS light came on indicating there was a pressure issue with a tire then allyour TPSs are working fine. I don't know all the specifics of how TPS works but if one tire sensor is sending data to the PCM that doesn't match the others then one would think that would set off the warning light.

BB3796, did you verify if your cruise control was working?

When one or more of the TPS sensors fail; ESP, Mr Squigly & ABS lights up and cruise control will not work. That's how DCX programed the PCM to act in that situation.

Me thinks there is waaaaaaaaaaay too much technology in these cars these days. Anyone ever heard the phrase "Keep it simple, stupid!" DCX obviously didn't want to keep it simple.
