Understanding What That Light Means on Your Car

TPMS Systems (Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems) alert the driver with a dashboard warning when they detect a significant drop or imbalance in tire pressure compared to the manufacturer’s recommended placard pressure.
Tire Pressure Sensor Located

Where is the Tire Pressure Sensor Located?

A tire pressure sensor is usually mounted inside each wheel, attached to the valve stem or banded to the rim. It sits within the tire, measuring air pressure and sending signals wirelessly to your vehicle’s TPMS system and dashboard.

TPMS Sensor Light on

Why is my TPMS Sensor
Light on?

Your TPMS light may be on due to low tire pressure, a sudden temperature drop, a slow leak, or a puncture. It can also indicate a failing sensor battery, damaged sensor, or the system needing a relearn after tire service.

How Do Tire Pressure Sensors Work

How Do Tire Pressure
Sensors Work?

Tire pressure sensors, part of the TPMS system, measure air pressure inside each tire and send data wirelessly to your vehicle’s computer. If pressure drops below the safe range, the system triggers a dashboard warning light, helping prevent unsafe driving and uneven tire wear.

FREQUENT ASK QUESTIONS

FAQ'S About tPMS Sensors

TPMS Systems use a TPMS sensor to monitor tire pressure and send readings to your vehicle’s computer, alerting you when pressure is low.

Common causes include low tire pressure, a damaged sensor, a weak sensor battery, or a system that needs a relearn after service.

Most last 5–10 years, depending on driving conditions and sensor battery life.

Not always, but it’s smart to inspect sensors and consider replacement if they’re old, corroded, or the battery is nearing end-of-life.

Yes, but it’s not recommended—without accurate alerts, you may drive on underinflated tires, increasing wear and safety risks.

Often yes. Many vehicles require programming or a relearn procedure after sensor replacement, tire rotation, or installing new wheels.
