Light for tire pressure came on and I don;t know if its because of a hole or because its just time for regular maintenance?
I got a 2016 honda fit a couple months ago and I've driven it a lot. I have a about 6-7,000 miles on it. I accidentally ran over a curb yesterday and about 2 mins after, my car said my oil level was low. I thought i might have cracked something underneath. Took it to jiffylube and they didn't see any cracks. While I was driving home ( I commute an hour and a half), my tire pressure light came on. It doesn't specify any tire, its just the exclamation pint light. So I thought I must have a hole. Get out and can't immediately see anything. I let it rest over night and I can't visually see any one specific tire looking flatter than the other but the light is still on. SO, is it just time for maintenance on my car or is there a possibility of a hole?
Added (1). The light for tire pressure came on and I don't know if its because of a hole or because its just time for regular maintenance?
Get yourself a tire pressure gauge and check the pressure in all 4 tires. I'm willing to bet one will have a lower reading than the others. Go to gas station, add air to the tire that was low to match the pressure in the other 3 tires. If the light comes on again, and if the same tire is low again, then take the car and have the tire checked by a competent shop. It may have a leak.
Air up the tires.
I don't trust TPMS systems. My van's TPMS worked fine for the first two years. Then for about 1.5 yrs, I kept getting false TPMS warnings. Then for the past 1.5 years, it's been working fine. The TPMS is for lazy people who can't or won't use a tire pressure gauge.
As for the oil level being low, again, use the dipstick and check the oil yourself. Don't rely on a light that could fail, causing you to lose the engine.
Check the pressure, Ace.
You need to check your tire pressure it is possible jiffy lube changed the pressure when you took it there that would explain why it came on on the way home. Keep any eye on it and keep it between the ditches!
Maybe a nail or you must of damage the valve stem when you hit the curb.
TPMS sensors usually have a 4 year lifetime. When the battery on the sensors die out, you have to change the entire sensors. They have to be programmed at the dealer or a place like Firestone.
First check the tire pressure at each tire with a tire gauge. If they're low, fill them. Then drive it. If the light doesn't go out after a while, THEN start looking at other issues.
You shouldn't be on the road if you don't know that.
Hi so why not visit shonda dealer instead after allier is a honda still under warranty.
You need to use a tire pressure gauge to see which tire is low and have it fixed. It might just need pumping up or it might have a nail in it. It only takes 5-7 psi difference from the other tires or outside specs to trigger the light. So you don't get this wrong, I'll repeat it; check the tire pressure on all the tires, including the spare. That light is not a mileage or time controlled warning. It alerts actual and current conditions.
My TPMS monitors lasted 7 years before they started crying wolf. They had to be replaced and that was a very expensive PITA.
- Punctured tire replacement - can I replace only 1 tire - is it safe to replace the PUNCTURED tire only? My 2005 Honda Pilot rear left tire was punctured near the threshhold (ie - sidewall), but still usable. Thus the tire dealer patched it only. Should I replace that punctured tire only? Or should I replace the 2 tires on the same axle? Or even buy a whole set of 4 tires? I'm concerned about safety, and thus your best advice is very appreciated.
- Check engine light, open door light, and batterie light all came on and won't go off? 2000 Honda Odyssey I already had the altinator replaced it a month old. The batterie almost a year old. Would the belt need be changed or something else?
- Tire pressure light keeps coming on? I just got new tires for my 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid last month after they kept getting flat and the warning light was on. I drove my car today and the light came on again. I don't understand how they keep getting flat or if this is a common problem with these cars? Any help? I don't wanna keep buying tires.
- Some kind of pressure release and fog came from my 2008 Honda Civic. What could it be? So my car wouldn't start this morning, mot even the power locks. AAA came out and said it looks to only be a dead battery but, with the car still running, there was a loud sound like a pressure being released and a fog came out from under the car. My wife said it smelled like freon from the air conditioner. What could that be?
