Tire Pressure Monitoring System
#hello I have a thing on my car and idk what it means
fiery pasture
Go to nearby shop or get lift you’re vehicle completely, then remove all the air out you’re car , then refill the correct amount (you can get the correct tyre pressure for you’re vehicle by searching it online). Normally it’ll do it , but if you’re still facing problem after 1-2 days then reset that sensors by connecting via OBD and resetting the sensor data.

You might have a TPMS Calibration in your vehicle settings. If so, hit that and see if the light comes back
Actually checking your tire pressure with a guage is important but the TPMS sensors may be malfunctioning which is less important to fix but obv causes confusion and anxiety

Always try to do this type.of tire pressure work when the car has been sitting. Don't want to measure pressure after they have heated up

if they were malfunctioning the tire light would flash for an extended time on startup, also there is a chance they have a TPMS reset button in the dash

Depends on the model, no?
My TPMS goes on solo
And it has only been a flat when it's FLAT

in my case it flashes for an extended time cuz i have a dead sensor, wdym solo?
worthy sapphire
Like just that TPMS symbol lights up in my dash and stays on. No.other lights

sounds like a functioning system, you have a low tire 
(to me anyway)
worthy sapphire
I thought that too but interweb says 2016 accords do this
Not by design, clearly
Has caused many panicked pull overs to the shoulder to check
fiery pasture
Hey guys can you help me I got an interesting problem
night wyvern
might have a dying sensor, mine kept coming on and off before it just stayed on
if you try to reset the TPMS system and the light doesn’t go away then your sensor is 100% dying

Most definitely. Mine will go away and mayyybe come back once again. But I always check manually
What's the issue @fiery pasture
May want to.start a new thread if it's not TPMS related

Ahh I see it. I'll check it our. Happy to help if I can

Just add air to all the tires. Good practice to stay up on tire pressure.
Inside the drivers side door jam, you will see an information sticker about your vehicle.
On that sticker, it is going to tell you what pressure to fill the tire too.
It’s better to add air to the tires in the morning since heat increases pressure and you will get an off reading after driving and after it has been sitting in the heat.
Do not fill the tire with air with the max PSI reading that you see on the tire. Fill it to what the door jam sticker says.

always use your car’s sticker for tyre pressure, and not the number on the tyre itself. Your TPMS is calibrated to that PSI and different trim levels of the same vehicle in the same vehicle year may have different ratings

ive had my previous owner of my car get after market wheels and didn't have tpms and it just stayed lit up until i got new ones with tpms, its varies between manufacture, @last tulip the tpms could also be reading wrong if your tire pressure is at the proper psi.
also do you have a way to check tire pressure from your dash or no? if you can that could help TS if the computer is reading it correctly or not

@last tulip not huge, if you go to a gas station there should be a pump you can use to fill up your tires for like a dollar or two
If you don’t know how to do it than ask the person inside to help

if your tyres aren’t bulging more than normal at the bottom you are fine
filling to the right level is recommended but in that case no immediate action is necessary
some effects of running a slightly deflated tyre are:
slightly reduced fuel efficiency (almost negligible)
slightly increased traction (a decent amount)
slightly increased tyre wear (negligible)
when running fully (rim on ground) flat you end up with a lower ride height, poor handling, pulling, accelerated tyre wear, potential rim damage, potential suspension damage (i.e. you hit a pot hole and there is no air cushion between the rim and tyre to reduce some force), very poor traction, tyre slipping, reduced brake effectiveness
but that is no air at all flat

Tire air pressure.
How much pressure will be in ur tire.
Its good to have a tire pressure gauge in the vehicle just in case.
Now in winter it will turn on alot but that’s cause the pressure changes.
It will turn off eventually but its good to check the tire pressure with the gauge ever do often.
⚠️Do not go over the number (psi) on ur vehicle.⚠️
