Common Causes of HURACAN TPMS Warning Light
The HURACAN uses direct TPMS sensors mounted inside each wheel, transmitting pressure and temperature data via 433MHz radio frequency. Three main issues trigger the warning:
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Diagnostic Action |
|---|---|---|
| Solid warning light after cold start | Low tire pressure (below 25 psi) | Check & inflate all tires to 32 psi (check manual) |
| Flashing light then stays on | Dead sensor battery or sensor failure | Use TPMS tool to scan sensor IDs |
| Intermittent warning at same location | Signal interference (radio towers, tunnels) | Monitor pattern; if consistent, reprogram sensors |
| No reading on one wheel | Sensor damaged or dead battery | Replace that sensor |
Dead Sensor Battery Symptoms
TPMS sensor batteries in the HURACAN are non-replaceable—the entire sensor must be replaced when the battery dies. Typical lifespan is 5-7 years from vehicle production date. Watch for:
- Gradual range loss: Sensor transmits less frequently or fails at cold temperatures
- Intermittent readings: Pressure shows “—” or “- -” on the dashboard
- Earlier failure in summer: Heat accelerates battery depletion
- Multiple sensors failing close together: Normal—batteries age similarly
If your HURACAN is a 2014-2017 model year, expect sensor replacements soon. For a direct-fit replacement, consider the RDE048V21 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Aston Martin, Audi, BMW, Bentley, Bugatti & 9 More | OE# 11B0015CP, 11B0022CP, 2000680, which matches the OE 433MHz frequency and covers Aston Martin, Audi, BMW, Bentley, Bugatti, and 9 more brands including Lamborghini.
Signal Interference Diagnosis
The HURACAN’s TPMS receiver is typically located near the rear bumper or under the dashboard. Interference comes from:
- Aftermarket LED lighting (especially underbody kits) that emit RF noise
- Ceramic or metallic window tints blocking the 433MHz signal
- Dashcams or radar detectors with poor shielding
- High-power radio transmitters near racetracks or airports
Test procedure: If the warning light only appears on specific roads or when using certain accessories, turn off all aftermarket electronics. If the light clears, re-enable devices one by one to find the culprit. For persistent interference, a 433MHz repeater or sensor relocation may be needed—consult a TPMS specialist.

FAQ
How do I know which TPMS sensor is failing on my HURACAN without a scan tool?
You can’t reliably identify the failing sensor without a TPMS scan tool. Some vehicles display individual tire pressures—look for one showing “—” or a significantly lower reading. For HURACAN, the warning light itself doesn’t indicate which wheel. A $30-60 TPMS trigger tool can wake each sensor and confirm signal strength.
Can I replace just one TPMS sensor on a HURACAN?
Yes, but expect the remaining original sensors to fail soon if they’re near 5-7 years old. Most technicians recommend replacing all four at once to avoid repeated dismounting and balancing costs. If you replace one, ensure the new sensor is programmed with the same 433MHz frequency and compatible OE numbers (11B0015CP, 11B0022CP, etc.).
Why does my HURACAN TPMS light come on only at highway speeds?
Low tire pressure often becomes more apparent at speed due to heat buildup and rolling resistance changes. It could also be a sensor with a weak battery that transmits intermittently under centrifugal force. Check pressures when cold; if all are normal, scan the sensors for low voltage readings.
Will aftermarket wheels cause TPMS issues on a HURACAN?
Only if the wheels use metal valve stems that block the 433MHz signal, or if the sensor mounting angle is incorrect. Ensure aftermarket wheels have proper TPMS sensor pockets. If the light appears after a wheel swap, the sensors likely need reprogramming to the vehicle’s receiver.
