I agree with you completely, Isaac! It’s a PITA to be sure. I own a 2015 Spark LS I bought used. No problems whatsoever until after a few months. I put brand new tires on the car. Same size and profile. The tire low-pressure light came on. Mine does not identify what tire is low, so you have to check them all. I bought this little tool off Amazon to reset the light. It was late in the evening and about 74 degrees outside. I made sure each tire had the recommended pressure of 35lbs. I did the reset process and Walla! The light was reset, life was good. I drove it around about 5 miles to make sure all was well. The next morning on the way to work (a 15-mile trip) all was just peachy. When I got off work and drove home, about 10 miles into my trip the friggin light returned. It was 98 degrees that day when I left work heading home. The first thing I did when I got home was checked the pressure in all four tires. 39/40/40/38. Well now, I made sure it was 35 on the nose the evening before. I assume the heat building up on the tires due to the hot weather made this thing trip. While the tires were hot I lowered all four back to 35. I was sure it would be around 30lbs in the morning. I checked first thing in the morning. They were 31/31/32/33. I didn’t change from that, I did another relearn at the lower pressure. The light went off. Drove for 3 days and the light returned. all pressures were good. So after a little research, I learn the batteries are good for about 5 or 6 years. It’s a 2015 Spark. Six years old. I assume these are the original sensors. I bought 4 new ones. I made sure they were for my car. 433/315 Mhz is the operating frequency I’m told. I bought a Hayes Shop Manual to make sure the new sensors match. I could not find what frequencies mine are supposed to use. This whole thing is one Massive PITA for Sure!
