When your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) light comes on, it can be alarming. The TPMS is a system of sensors placed in each tire to monitor its inflation status; the TPMS light indicates that you have an issue with one or more of these sensors.
But before you panic, let’s figure out what blinking means and how to fix it!
What Does It Mean When a Tire Pressure Light Blinks on a Jeep?
The tire pressure light blinking on a Jeep means a problem with the tire pressure. Most likely, it’s either a sensor or a problem with your TPMS system. It could also be an issue with the TPMS light itself.
It’s important to note that this kind of warning differs from other lights in your car, like the check engine and ABS lights.
Those are meant to alert you to problems with specific systems within your car, while this one alerts you to problems outside of those systems, namely, the tires themselves.
Why Does Tire Light Come On Even When Your Tires Are Fully Inflated?
The tire pressure light will come on when the pressure in one or more tires is low. It may also flash if you suddenly drive over a bump, hit a pothole, or run over a curb.
The tire light comes on because of the low air inside the tire. The sensors in your Jeep monitor tire pressure and send information to your dashboard’s display when they detect that there isn’t enough air in one or more tires.
The sensor can detect this by sensing weight shifting as you drive, which can happen when one or more tires lose their inflation.
The TPMS Light Came On. What Should You Do?
If the TPMS light comes on, it is important to check your tire pressure and tread depth. If the tire has too little air, the system will not be able to detect a flat. In addition, if the tires are too worn down or damaged, they may not provide an accurate indication of their health.
If you suspect something is wrong with your vehicle’s tires or wheels (for example, if it feels like your car pulls to one side when driving), Take it for an inspection.
If any problems are found with your tires or wheels while inspecting them, we’ll do everything in our power to get them back into shape quickly so that you can get safely back on the road again.
How to Reset Blinking Tire Pressure Light
If you are seeing the tire pressure light blinking on your Jeep, there are several things you can check before bringing it to a mechanic.
- Check tire pressure. This is one of the first things to do when dealing with this problem because it’s such an easy fix. A low tire can cause the TPMS system to go into “fail-safe mode,” which will cause the light to blink while alerting you that something isn’t quite right with your Jeep’s tires.
- Check for a puncture or leak. Please ensure there aren’t any holes in your treads that might be causing air leakage into or out of them (or both!). If this is indeed what’s happening, then finding and fixing those holes should solve your problem!
- Look at all four wheels and see if anything looks different from one side to another; if so, this could mean that something has moved around inside each wheel (e.g., an object has fallen off onto one side but not others). If so, then again, fix it!
- Inspect all valve stems closely, looking for signs like cracks or corrosion; ensure they’re installed correctly by following the manufacturer’s guidelines on each valve stem cap itself!
TPMS Light Flashes and Then Stays On
If your TPMS light is flashing and stays on, one of your tires likely has a puncture, leak, or other problem. The first thing to check is the tire pressure.
If all tires are properly inflated, and you have no other issues like sidewall damage, there is usually a problem with the valve stem or sensor. To fix this, you’ll need to get your Jeep serviced by an auto technician.
The Tpms Light Is Flashing, but the Tires Are Fine
If the TPMS light is flashing and your tires are fine, there are a few things you can do to try and resolve this issue.
The tire may be leaking air
Check for small leaks by looking at the sidewall of each tire. Remember to check both sides of your vehicle. If you find a leak, use an air compressor to fill the tire with air until it reaches recommended PSI levels (or until it stops hissing).
Visit the local car service
Bring your Jeep in for professional maintenance so they can fix any leaks that may have been caused by damage or improper installation at some point in its history.
Damaged tire
The tire may be damaged due to hitting something like gravel while driving on the pavement; this causes damage called pitting that makes it vulnerable to punctures as well as rapid deflation due to tiny pinholes created when small stones get stuck inside tread grooves during impact with hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt.
The Main Causes of Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
If your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) light comes on and stays on, you need to determine the problem to solve it and turn off the light. We’ll go through all three steps here:
•Check the tire pressure
•Check the sensor
•Check for wiring problems or a bad connection
Conclusion
If you have a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) light that won’t go off, the first step is to check your tire pressure.
If you’re in the habit of checking it regularly, then it’s likely that there isn’t anything wrong with the system itself, and you can move on to check the sensor. If you’ve determined the problem, you can turn off the light
