Your car says ‘tire pressure low’ because of low tire pressure in one or more tires. Uneven tire pressures can trigger this alert. If you recently changed a tire, you may need to reset the tire pressure warning system. A faulty sensor can also cause the warning light. Regularly check tire pressure to ensure vehicle safety.
To address this issue, first, check the tire pressure with a gauge. Refer to the vehicle’s manual or the driver’s side door for the correct pressure specifications. If the pressure is low, inflate the tires to the proper level. If a puncture is suspected, inspect the tire for visible damage. A damaged tire may need repair or replacement.
After correcting the tire pressure, the warning light may take time to reset. If it remains on, consult a mechanic for further diagnosis. Understanding why your car says “Tire Pressure Low” empowers you to maintain your vehicle’s safety and performance.
Next, we will explore preventive measures for maintaining proper tire pressure and troubleshooting common issues related to tire maintenance.
