TPS help....yet again

[BAMA]

OK...my turn to get the low TPS battery front warning.     Battery must be shot, 'cuz its staying on now all the time despite very warm weather (used to just come on when cold, then go away).

Can you clear the constant warning from the LED display to get the other functions visible again?  What's the steps.  I didn't see in the manual the way to clear this with a button sequence??  Eventually, I'll have to go fight it out with the dealer to try for a warranty replacement.  Thanks

I know we've covered this, but with the forum server crash, many of the threads for a search are toast.

Press and hold the top button in, then press and release the bottom button, then release the top button. The error will clear and the red LED will lite.

thanks...will try that sequence.

You should be able to cycle through the screens now.

Slight hijack! I remember a thread from the forum before the change over, that dealt with changing the batteries in the tps. Does anyone have the scoop on this?

Added a battery charge lead (Ctek) to my battery yesterday now my TPS does not display, will the above method reset my TPS?

Thanks

No it will not. But once your wheels are turning at somwhere around 12 mph or so the tps will come back on.

Good pics but some comments with them would be nice. Was there a write up?

There was at one time before the big crash.

I remember most of it as I was planning to change mine. To access the battery, the two halves of the TPS come apart, there is a single screw hidden underneath the stick-on label. Then there are two plastic clasps that can be caerefully opened with a tiny flat blade screwdriver.

 A heat sink is suggested to protect the electronics during the de-soldering/soldering operation. A desoldering braid or vacuum will help also. The tabs on the replacement battery are not properly aligned and must be bent to match up with the leads on the circuit board.

I actually took my TPS apart last tire change but decided not to replace the battery at this time as my TPS seems to have healed itself and is working fine. Two weeks ago I was in Arkansas and riding in 43 F degree temperature for three days and never got a low bat warning.

I think I'm going to do this at the next tire change. The front will be first. Where did the batteries with the tabs come from? Its really sad we lost all of this stuff. Seems like nothing on the interwebs is ever truly lost or can be really erased once it is there. Do we have any guru's who would know if this is true? Google scans and caches everything it seems.
