Meaning of the Fixed or Flashing TPMS Light

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Tire pressure warning light

This video explains the differences between a fixed or flashing TPMS light on your vehicle's dashboard. If the light is fixed, it simply means that the pressure in the tyres is low. The action to take is to check the tyre pressures, inflate those that are low (do not neglect the spare), and reset the light using the button or the appropriate procedure. If the light is flashing, then the monitoring system is not functioning, which may be due to a fault in one of the sensors inside the tyres; it may also mean that the tyre pressure system needs to be reinitialized: this operation must be done every time tyres are changed, rotated, or inflated, or when work is done on the wheels.
