Light came on while I was on the highway but all tires seem to be filled with plenty of air. How do I clear this light and what caused it? Thx

In order to correct the issue, you need to figure out what caused it. There are TPMS scanners that will help you diagnose the situatiuon, but they may not give you the answer outright. Those scanners are available on Amazon.com, some tire stores also carry them and may be able to help you.

A short list of possibilities:
Pressure Over/Under spec.
A sensor is going bad.
Other system fault. (not reading a sensor)

Chances are your sensor(s) are getting ready to go out. What will happen when one dies (battery life or just sensor itself) is it will cause the TPMS light to come on every once in a while for a couple weeks, then it will come on every time.

Well I just got new rims and tires so maybe I just need to reset the sensors?

Could be...


Go through the settings in the DIC and see if any are reading. You can go through the programming yourself if they aren't showing.
