  1. I replaced the fuse, left the car in park and the aircon / heating set to off.

     

    The fuse blew straight away. Would it be a fair assumption that it is the TPM system causing the problem?

     

    My thinking behind this is that the parking sensors wouldn't have been activated, nor would the aircon / heating unit.

     

    Is that a fair assumption? If so, can the TPM be turned off / disconnected?

     

    One more thing though, "Check TPM" flashed up regularly, but the sensors are still displaying the pressures through the console.

     

    Thoughts please?

  2. I cvhanged fuse 41 and it went up in smoke, so I guess there is a dead short.

     

    In order to find out which circuit, I'll do the following.

     

    Turn Aircon to off.

    Replace fuse

    Start Car

    If the fuse blows I will assume it's the TPM because neither of the other two circuits will have been activated.

    If it doesn't blow, put the car in reverse to activate the sensors.

    If it still doesn't blow, turn on the Aircon.

     

    Would the above be logical?

  3. All of a sudden, my aircon has stopped working. In fact nothing on that panel works, but there are still lights working, so I guess power is getting through.

     

    At the same time the reversing sensors stopped working and I keep getting the message pop up "Check TPM System". The TPM seems to be working and the tyre pressures are fine.

     

    Any ideas how to go about diagnosing this problem?
