If any of your warning lights go on please give us a call!! Warning Light Behavior The TPMS warning lamp, will illuminate if tire pressure is too low or part of the TPMS system has malfunctioned. The light can behave in two ways: Blinking - This means the TPMS has malfunctioned. One or more sensors may have failed or lost communication with the ECU. Reasons for sensor failure may be a dead battery (in the unit), damage, or failure from natural wear and tear. Most sensors are rated to last 7 or 8 years. Solid - A solid indicator light means that one or more tires is operating at an unsafe pressure. Check your tires! Older Vehicles (before 2008) The distinction between a solid and flashing TPMS indicator was mandated as part of the TREAD act in 2007. Vehicles with TPMS manufactured prior to the TREAD act will not necessarily follow the solid/flashing protocol as described above. Check your vehicle manual or ask an automotive professional to find out more.
