The TPMS reset button is where?
Tire pressure monitoring system is referred to as TPMS. The TPMS reset button is often located below the steering wheel. Your car’s TPMS needs to be electronically reset after you replace the tires in order to erase the error message. Hold the TPMS reset button down until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then let go of the button to complete the process. Your car should be started, and the sensor will refresh after 20 minutes.
My TPMS light won’t turn off; why?
When the TPMS warning light illuminates, proceed with caution. This indicates that at least one tire on your vehicle may not be inflated to the appropriate level by at least 25%.
*The simplest way to get the most accurate reading is to check the tire pressure before you drive on it when the tire is “cool.” If your TPMS light is on, first check that you have correctly reset your TPMS by following these instructions.
Will my TPMS light automatically turn off if I fill my tires with air after it illuminates?
Several minutes after reinflating the tires to the prescribed pressure, the TPMS light ought to go out.
What happens if I adjust the tire pressure but the light on my tire pressure gauge still doesn’t go out?
The only place that can fix a computer issue that causes the TPMS warning light to turn ON and flash ON for one second and OFF for three seconds is the dealership service center. When the TPMS warning light illuminates and remains on, one or more tires may have low tire pressure. The light ought to go out once the tire is inflated to the recommended tire pressure listed on the door placard. Always check the pressure in all of your tires because one or more of them may not be at the proper pressure.
Why are my tires in good condition but my tire pressure sign is on?
It’s likely that one or more of your tires have low air pressure if you see the tire pressure indicator turn on. However, even if your tires are in good condition, there are a number of things that could cause the sensors to go off, so you shouldn’t rely only on the data from the tire pressure monitoring system of your car.

Why are my tires in good condition but my tire pressure sign is blinking?
It usually indicates that one or more tires need to be inflated to the recommended placard pressure if the TPMS warning light glows solidly and stays solid.
The TPMS system, however, is malfunctioning if a light flashes for 6090 seconds before going solid. Most likely, there is a communication problem between the vehicle and one or more of the sensors. Many different problems may be the root of this. The sensor may need to be changed if it is broken, missing, or has a dead battery, according to the flashing light. It can also imply that the tire’s sensor is placed incorrectly.
You must investigate these potential problems until you identify the source if you want to ensure that you service the TPMS systems correctly.
When your customer visits for servicing, bear in mind the following extra advice:
Every time a customer’s car pulls into your service bay, check the Telltale/MIL and note the presence of any lit or blinking lights before starting any work.
Visually check the stems, hex nut, seal, and cap while servicing the TPMS. Replace with a fresh service kit is the advised best practice.
Whether or not there is a chance for a sale, always let the customer know the advantages of TPMS.
How long before the tire pressure light appears?
After a few kilometers of driving, the light may turn off if the tires are adequately inflated. After around 10 miles, if the light still remains on, it may be necessary to reset the TPMS as instructed in the owner’s handbook of the car.
