TPMS: pressure light, reset and common post-season pitfalls. Schedule a service at SpotMeUp.
The TPMS light after changing wheels is a classic: sometimes you just need to add more air and reset, and sometimes the system requires adaptation or the sensor has a weak battery. The worst thing you can do is drive for months "because the light is on and nothing happens" - it's a safety system.
It is worth distinguishing between systems: some calculate pressure indirectly (with ABS), others have sensors in the wheels. This determines whether you need programming, pairing or diagnostics.
In SpotMeUp, go to Automotive → Vulcanization / Electrics and electronics and select the TPMS service. Add: after what change the problem appeared and whether the indicator is on constantly or flashing.
Frequently asked questions:
Does TPMS always measure pressure “in bars”? No - it depends on the system.
Why does the light come on after changing wheels? Reset, adaptation or sensor - depending on the car.
Is pumping enough? Sometimes yes, but not always.
Do the sensors have batteries? Yes, on many systems and may run out.
Is it possible to drive with the warning light on? Technically yes, but you lose the pressure drop warning.
Does TPMS need to be programmed after replacing rims? Often yes - it depends on the car.
Can I reschedule? Depends on the rules.
