Default Re: tire light on dashboard

The car came back with not only the "light bulb" icon lit up but also the "tire inflation sensor" lit up. We found the tires to be underinflated and filled them to the proper poundage. The light did not go off, and the tires have maintained the correct poundage that we filled them to. So, I now have 2 lights that remain lit up on my dashboard! Any thoughts?


When they did your new tires, did you tell them to replace the stems? Sometimes, it takes a couple of miles for the sensors to clear a light BUT if they swapped the stems your sensors might be missing now. Also, DID YOU have them 'service' the TPMS existing stems? Might be why a light is lit. How old are the sensors in the car now? The batteries in the sensors last approximately 10 years (some higher some lower).

NEVER heard of putting a car on a 'board' to check sensors for a lamp out indicator???

May be a few more questions but these should help ppl help you for now...
