Fair enough!

The FTM can be upset by an issues other than tyre pressure, since it is effectively just a calculation based on the outputs from the wheel speed sensors.

The FTM does seem to need the occasion reset to get those calculations to work and it really needs a perfect tyre setup (all the same size or approved staggered sizes and all similar wear). It certainly can get out of whack pretty quickly.

I too like the bulb monitoring (and hate the tail light sockets!). I see so many cars on the road with drivers totally unaware of their poor lighting...
