What does tire sensor malfunction mean?

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we see what it means if the instrument panel indicates an error with the tire sensor: all tires have a sensor inside them, which reports the tire pressure to the onboard computer; if the pressure is low or if the sensor has a problem, we will receive an error message on the panel. The first thing to do is to check the tire pressure and reset it if it has dropped. The reference values ??are found on the plate located on the driver's door thickness; if necessary, add some air and possibly drive a short distance to allow the TPMS to reset. If the light does not turn off, some cars have a TPMS reset button; otherwise, it is advisable to check in your owner's manual if there is a blown fuse. If everything is in order, then it is probably the TPMS sensor that needs to be replaced, and this is a job that we recommend you have done by a good tire specialist.
