Why Is My Tire Light On?

When the Tire Pressure warning light pops up on your dashboard, it's a sign that one or more tires are underinflated or overinflated. This light, which looks like an exclamation mark inside a horseshoe, is part of your car's Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

Common Reasons Your Tire Light Will Turn On?

  1. Temperature Changes: Cold weather can lower Tire Pressure.
  2. Slow Leaks: Small punctures or a loose Valve can cause air loss.
  3. Faulty Sensor: The TPMS sensor might be malfunctioning.

What Are The Steps You Should Take?

  1. Check Tire Pressure: Use a Tire Pressure Gauge to check all four Tires.
  2. Adjust Pressure: Inflate or deflate Tires to the recommended level found in your owner’s manual or on the driver’s side door frame.
  3. Inspect for Damage: Look for visible damage like nails or cuts.
  4. Drive to Reset: After adjusting, drive a short distance to see if the Tire Light turns off.
  5. Seek Professional Help: If the light stays on, visit Frank’s Servicenter for a thorough check!

Properly inflated Tires ensure Safe Driving, better Fuel Efficiency, and less Wear and Tear. Don’t ignore the warning light, it helps keep you and your car safe on the road.
