Vehicle
emergency lights are nothing to be alarmed over. During colder months, it is
common for the TPMS light to pop on. The TPMS light is a dashboard alert that
notifies you when one or more of your tires is low. Depending on your vehicle,
tire pressure is monitored by your ABS system or a battery-powered sensor
mounted on each tire. Under-inflated tires pose a safety risk, which makes your
Tire Pressure Monitoring System is an important safety feature.
TPMS alerts
may be due to low tire pressure (your tires may be under-inflated), or your TPMS itself may
need to be serviced. Different TPMS systems have different repair and service
options. Most TPMS system sensors do not have removable batteries, which means
the entire sensor must be replaced when there are battery issues. Depending on
the issue, the TPMS may also need resetting. We always advise you to follow
manufacturer recommendations in your vehicle’s owner’s manual.

Tire Pressure Management System needs resetting or you have a slow tire leak,
