Pressure Pro TPMS Question

I tried to do a search and couldn't find an answer.  On my coach I have a Silver Leaf system with a Pressure Pro TPMS.  On the silver leaf screen when all the tires are okay it is depicted as a round green circle for each tire monitored.  The other day my inside dully tire showed up as a yellow circle.  Pressure and tire temp were the same as the other rear tires.  That evening I checked the tire pressure and it was just fine.  When I started my trip today all tires showed green and about 100 miles out the yellow circle appeared again for the same tire.  Before I arrived it changed back to green.  I have checked the manual and can't find what the yellow circle is trying to tell me.  Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

We do not have Silverleaf, and have been using Pressure Pro (PP) on our motorhome and Jeep for many years.

Each separate PP sensor wireless transmits several alarm signals when tire air pressure is a variance from "SET POINT".  A new Set Point is established each time the sensor has been at rest off the tire for about 30 seconds.

Alarms are sent when air pressure reaches 12% below Set Point and at 24% below.

Our experience has been when we remove PP to fill tires it may be during the heat of the day, and then at night or early morning when temps fall, the air pressure may temporarily drop below 12% triggering an alarm.  Our fix for this, is to remove every PP in early morning, place the PP on the ground in front of the tire, walking around the vehicle.  When I get back to the starting tire, over 30 seconds have passed, and I then re-install each PP, thus creating a new lower Set Point, which eliminates temporary low pressure alarms.

Hope this helps with your Silverleaf - Pressure Pro issue.

Pressure Pro with VMSpc and any of the built-in displays will monitor high and low pressure and high temperature and battery level.  Any of these things can set an alarm condition.  High and low pressure and high temp levels are user configurable. If it is like most of the other VMS  gauges there is an early warning level (yellow)  and a higher (or lower) warning level (red).

I attached the tire pressure manual from Silverleaf.  I hope it helps.

Edit ...
I am not sure this manual is for Pressure Pro.  See Post #4 below.

Roger,  I had no idea that Pressure Pro has an internal-tire TPMS sensor.  Thanks for the manual, but I don't see the brand name 'Pressure Pro' mentioned in it.  Maybe Silverleaf is using another brand TPMS system.

Barry, some more hunting in the download files at Silverleaf turned up this file.  That other file might be for something else but I don't see any references to another TPMS.  It is fairly pricey to add Pressure Pro to any of these VMS systems.  I have a stand alone system that I can leave on all the time.  I want to know if something happens to a tire when it happens when we are somewhere for a few weeks or a month rather than when we are about to leave.

Yellow could mean low battery, low pressure or higher temp.

Thanks Roger, looks like my above comments do apply to this type of Silverleaf Pressure Pro system. 

You hit upon one of the best features of Pressure Pro, in that we can readout the tire pressures ANYTIME and before getting on the road.  System also will let us know 24/7 if any tire gets low right away.  We never use our manual tire pressure stick gauge anymore.  Curious on psi, just walk to dash and press the button to cycle through all motorhome and Jeep tires.

Our Jeep has factory digital tire psi display, but we could not integrate it to the motorhome, so we have Pressure Pro sensors on the Jeep.

We were at a state park for a week a couple years ago.  My tpms started to beep one saying one rear tire was low.  I checked with the pressure gauge and it was indeed down to the low 80's.  We were leaving the next day so I pumped it up (pretty slow) to 95 psi.  Mext morning it was back to about 90 so a slow leak.  There was a truck tire place about 10 miles away so I pumped it back up and we drove down there.  The guy checked the tire and then replaced the schrader valve.  It was not tight.  So for a couple bucks and some more air it was good. 

I have confidence in my TPMS but I get out my gauge and check every tire before we move.  OIl too.  I have done the same since we got our first RV in 1974.  A good habit.

B&C ... The guy at the truck tire place gave me a valve tool stuck in a 4" piece of 1/4" clear tubing.  Make it easy to use and esy to find and harder to lose.

Roger, thanks for your quick response, the information and the link to Silver Leaf.  It was very helpful and has resolved my concerns.

Looks like we need to carry a Schrader tool to tighten that little valve core.
