Tire pressure light on? What it means and what to do.

Steady vs. flashing, why it always comes on the first cold morning, and the right pressure for your car.

The short answer

Steady light: one or more tires is low. Fill to the number on the driver’s door sticker. Flashing then steady: a sensor problem.

Keep in mind

If it flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on, a sensor or the system has a fault. Your tires aren’t being watched until it’s fixed.
