What does TPMS mean when it appears on the car dashboard?
1 Answers
The appearance of TPMS on the car dashboard indicates a fault in the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, signaling that one of the tires has low pressure. Tire pressure monitoring is divided into direct and indirect types. If the TPMS warning light comes on while driving, it may indicate that one of the tires has low pressure. In such a case, the driver should avoid sharp steering and emergency braking, reduce speed, and slowly pull over to the side of the road to check the tire pressure. If the vehicle has simple tools, the driver can measure the tire pressure and inflate the tire themselves. If not, they should seek a nearby repair shop for inflation. However, if the light is on but the tires are not the issue, it may indicate an abnormality with the tire pressure sensor.
