Check tyre pressure and condition first
A warning after tyre work can still relate to pressure. Check all four tyres when they are cold, using the vehicle's stated pressure information. Look for a visibly soft tyre, a damaged valve area, a tread puncture or a sidewall problem before blaming the monitoring system.
A new tyre does not rule out a separate pressure issue. A wheel can have an existing valve, rim or sensor concern, and the system may identify a difference before the driver notices it. Start with the tyre condition because it is the safety-critical check.
- Use the vehicle's tyre-pressure information, not a generic figure
- Check all tyres and the spare where the vehicle system requires it
- Do not continue to reset a warning that returns after correct inflation
The reset method depends on the vehicle
Some systems use wheel-mounted sensors. Others compare wheel rotation data and need a reset through the vehicle menu after tyre pressures are corrected. The exact learning or reset procedure depends on the make and model.
Use the handbook for the correct reset process. If the light remains or flashes, the workshop can inspect the tyre and wheel first, then consider the sensor, valve or system programming route where it applies.
Know when a TPMS assessment is the right route
Book TPMS support when tyre pressures are correct, the tyre has been checked and the warning still returns. The workshop can identify the practical next step instead of replacing a sensor based on the dashboard light alone.
Book puncture inspection instead when one tyre continues to lose pressure, a nail or screw is visible in the tread, or the tyre has damage. The monitoring system can alert you to a problem, but it does not decide repairability.
Give the workshop useful information
Tell the team when the warning began, whether it stays on or flashes, and what tyre work has taken place. Include the vehicle registration and any visible tyre or wheel issue. This helps the workshop prepare the right assessment path.
Call before travelling if a tyre is flat, visibly damaged or losing pressure. IQ Tyres provides workshop support in Mitcham rather than mobile or roadside tyre attendance.
