Peugeot Boxer TPMS Query
On my Mercedes car for example I can set my pressures at whatever I want then store those new pressures without being bugged by messages, however I see no option to do this on the Peugeot dash in the mode menu unless I’m missing something? So I’m presuming these are preset by Peugeot & is not user adjustable?

Re: Peugeot Boxer TPMS Query
As you've discovered (a) the dealer-set tyre pressures are often far too high for the axle masses. Once you know those masses in full holiday mode (weighbridge) and you know your tyre details, you can use the Tyresafe table to calculate what pressure you need for your individual setup; (b) assuming you run the tyres at lower pressures than the dealer set, that will often trigger the TPMS warning because Peugeot set the triggers too high for our needs (as opposed to White Van Man's). And only by paying a Peugeot dealer can you get the TPMS trigger pressures lowered.
Because I want to run my tyres at 52:77psi, I had my TPMS triggers lowered to 50:69psi - after a great deal of hassle and disclaimers.
Caraman is the go-to expert on this subject.

Dealer reset for instant action but if you set them equally (and tyre wear is similar on each corner) and drive for a short distance it should reset automatically

Re: Peugeot Boxer TPMS Query
Front CP tyre pressures are the same or similar to C tyre pressures and therefore should not give an uncomfortable ride at the front where the travelling seats are. CP motorhome tyres are stronger than C van tyres and at the rear are designed to run at higher pressures. This is to improve motorhome stability and better withstand the continuous high rear load found on many motorhomes and careless drivers who overload one or both of their rear tyres. If the rear CP tyres are run at less than their ETRTO recommended pressures for the axle load, the safety benefits of having CP tyres are much reduced.

Re: Peugeot Boxer TPMS Query
Unfortunately, the in wheel sensors that Caraman has said are fitted are unreliable and may be faulty. Double check the pressures on the rear axle as they have to match closely to keep the warning light off.CC wrote:Thanks for the replies, having to rely on Peugeot to reset or alter the TPMS was what I was annoyingly kind of expecting… What I don’t understand is I dropped the tyre pressures straight away when I first got our Broadway home two weeks ago & we’ve had at least two trips away in it without it throwing up this error, so why suddenly out of the blue would it do it today? Also why is it only throwing up the warning for the left rear & not any of the others?

Re: Peugeot Boxer TPMS Query
If you have the same tyres as me and your worst case rear axle mass is 1854 kg or above, there is definitely no need to change your rear TPMS setting of 5.5 bar/80 psi. Even if you run your rear tyres at a slightly lower cold tyre pressure, perhaps because you have a lower rear axle mass, it won't trigger the rear TPMS. As for your front axle, I can only guess that its worst case mass is going to be something like 1550 kg (if A-S's mass in running order of 1409 kg is correct). This being so, 3.75 bar/54 psi would be about right. All pressures are for an axle mass that is 10% higher. From experience Continental will give you similar pressures but they will be lower as all they do is compare your axle masses to their Data Book and give you the next higher pressure increment from their table, which won't always be 10% higher, and they will assume you never exceed your axle mass and your axle load is always balanced equally between the two tyres which it wont be.

Re: Peugeot Boxer TPMS Query
I think its to do with the way a van becomes a motorhome, registration, type approval et al which I don't fully understand but someone else on the Forum might. So some vans like the Nuevo & Broadway and perhaps all the coachbuilts have to have a working factory fitted TPMS but other vans like PVCs don't. TPMSs are not normally fitted to commercial vans and if they are its an optional extra.rgermain wrote:Any idea what year Peugeot started to fit TPMS?. My 2015 has not got it.

N1 vehicles (up to 3500kg), had TPMS fitted for new Type Approvals after 1/11/2012, old type approvals came in 1/11/2014. So a van sold to AS before 1/11/2012 or 14 depending on when TA obtained are nor required to have TPMS. A old TA van after conversion but sold to final customer in 2015 might not have it. Some manufacturers fitted before the mandatory dates.

Well that blows the regulations quoted out the window unless they don't apply to vans (as commercial vehicles).v8oholic wrote:My 2021 van does not have it. Thankfully.

TPMS
I was fairly lucky my son runs a large Peugeot main dealer and got his technician to adjust it to correct pressure no further problems after that , he did the adjustment free of charge.

An ABS TPMS is infinitely better.
A tyre pressure gauge better still.

A good point.Arron wrote:

A TPMS is no substitute for checking the cold tyre pressures before the vehicle is driven with a tyre gauge at least every month, before every long journey and if there has been a large change in air temperature since the last time it was checked. I add that last point because earlier this year I set pressures at the start of a trip when it was about -7C but within a few days it was 10C and I had to let air out of the tyres and the rear tyres in particular that were over their maximum permitted cold tyre pressure.
A tyre pressure gauge and a pump are essential items to have in the van whether it has a TPMS or not.

Re: Peugeot Boxer TPMS Query
they told me that the you had no choice when I had the Peugeot. that was new in 2015 so I naturally expected it on this van but as I say I ain't complaining.
