Here's a fun one. Nothing I am immediately concerned with but long term I'm wondering what the cause/effect might be.
Here's the situation. I recently installed Morimoto low beam HIDs in my quad housings on my '12 Laramie. Upon initial fire, the TPMS light will come on for 1-3 seconds. It always disappears but I'm wondering if this is something anyone else has experienced. I'm assuming there has to be some sort of interference generated from the ignitor on the ballast(s) that's either scrambling or blocking the signal from what I would imagine is the front tire sensor(s). The light always clears so I doubt it's harming anything but I don't know anything technical about the TPMS receiver(s) and if the interference may actually be affecting that/them in a harmful manner.
Kinda feels like an oddity to me since these aren't your cheap fleaBay run-of-the-mill chineseum hid kits. I know the fleaBay ones have caused radio interference in older vehicles and such. But not knowing anything really about TPMS systems and how they communicate has me wondering about potentially harmful interference in the future.
Anyone else had this? I guess it wouldn't hurt to learn a thing or two about how the TPMS works and HIDs as well just for the extra bit of knowledge.
