Frequently Asked Questions
What causes the TPMS Light or Tire Pressure Light to come on?
There are several common reasons why you might see the tire warning light appear on your dashboard. The first reason is an increase or decrease in tire pressure by 4 PSI or more. Typically, this is caused by fluctuations in the exterior temperature where your vehicle is located. You may notice a 1-2 PSI difference in tire pressure for every 10 degrees of change in the exterior temperature. Other causes include a tire puncture or a loss of communication with one or more of the TPMS sensors.
How can I turn the TPMS light off?
If you’re traveling, the best way to get the TPMS light to turn off is to check and verify that you have the correct tire pressures. If you’re nearby in the Ann Arbor area, simply stop by our Express Service lane where one of our service advisors will check your tire pressure, adjust it accordingly, and provide you with a walkthrough of how your TPMS system is recalibrated.
Where can I find the correct tire pressure for my vehicle?
The easiest place to find the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle is inside the driver’s side door jam. You’ll find a label that lists the appropriate tire pressure for your vehicle. This information can also be found inside your owner’s manual.
What causes the Windshield Washer Fluid light to come on and how can I turn it off?
It’s essential to have a full reservoir of windshield washer fluid to ensure that you’ll have proper visibility at all times. You never know when your windshield might become obstructed and require fluid to clean it off. This warning light will appear on your dashboard once the fluid level inside the reservoir has dropped below the minimum threshold. You can find access to this windshield wiper fluid reservoir under the hood, where you can add additional fluid and check the current level. If you would like assistance with refilling the reservoir, see our team in the Express Service lane and we would be happy to help.
