SO IF YOU START YOUR VEHICLE ONE DAY AND THIS
LIGHT COMES ON
THAT LITTLE LIGHT RIGHT THERE ASKED MY WIFE WHAT
THAT LOOKED LIKE AND SHE SAID IT LOOKS LIKE AN
EXCLAMATION POINT WITH ARMS AROUND IT
IT'S ACTUALLY YOUR TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM
THE SYSTEM ACTUALLY MONITORS HOW MUCH
AIR YOU HAVE IN YOUR TIRES AND TYPICALLY WHEN
THAT COMES ON YOUR TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW
SO THAT BEING THE CASE NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN
YOU CAN JUST CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE PUT THE
CORRECT AMOUNT OF AIR IN THE TIRE AND THE
TPMS LIGHT SHOULD GO OFF IF IT'S SOMETHING ELSE
IF YOU FILL UP THE TIRES TO THE SPECIFIC AMOUNT
OF PSI AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON THEN YOU
PROBABLY NEED TO TAKE IT TO A SERVICE CENTER
TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE
MONITORS THE WIRELESS MONITORS INSIDE THE TIRE
ON THE RIM THAT THAT CAN GO BAD AND THAT
WILL SET THIS LIGHT AS WELL WHAT HAPPENS IS
WATER GETS INTO THE TIRE AND WIPES OUT THE
TPMS SENSOR IT'S CALL THE TIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM TPMS
ON MOST CARS MADE IN THE USA THERE'S GOING TO
BE A STICKER ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR JAM
SO RIGHT HERE IN THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR JAM
RIGHT HERE YOU CAN SEE ORIGINAL TIRE SIZE
225/15/17 SHOWS YOU FRONT AND REAR AND WHAT
THE SPARE TIRE SHOULD BE AS WELL SO LOOKING
DOWN HERE COLD TIRE PRESSURE INFLATION COLD
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LOOKING AT 32 PSI
FOR THE FRONT 32 PSI FOR THE REAR AND THE
SPARE TIRE SHOULD BE AT 60 PSI SO THIS THIS AH
THIS IS FOR WHEN THE TIRE IS COLD FIRST THING IN
THE MORNING IS WHEN THE TIRES WILL BE COLD
LET'S GO SEE IF IT'S AT THE 32 PSI MARK
OK I'M ATTACHED TO A AIR HOSE HERE RIGHT HERE
TYPICALLY ON A THESE AIR CHUCKS YOU HAVE A
INDICATOR OF THE PSI INSIDE THE TIRE BUT THIS IS
A MECHANIC BASED ONE SO I KNOW THAT THIS
MONITOR THIS GAUGE HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF
TYPICALLY AT GAS STATIONS THOSE THINGS ARE
USED AND ABUSED PRETTY ROUGHLY SO PEOPLE
JUST THROW THEM AND THEY REEL UP INTO THAT
AIR WATER PRESSURE STATION THEY HAVE AND
THOSE TYPICALLY THOSE GAUGES ARE PROBABLY
NOT THE MOST RELIABLE JUST BASED ON THE ABUSE
THEY SEE SO IT'S BEST TO GO AHEAD GET YOUR OWN
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR THESE YOU CAN PICK
THESE UP FROM ANYWHERE ANY PARTS HOUSE ANY
PARTS STORE LESS THAN $4 BUCKS SO IT'S ALWAYS
A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE YOUR OWN TIRE PRESSURE
GAUGE AND NOT RELY ON ONES THAT YOU SEE AT
THE GAS STATIONS AT THE AIR WATER STATIONS
THAT ARE FREE SO 32 PSI
WE'RE AT 30 PSI SO JUST COME IN HERE
PUSH THE DIAL INDICATOR ONTO THE STEM
MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HEAR ANY AIR LEAKS
AND RIGHT THERE YOU CAN SEE IT'S AT 30 PSI
SO I'LL GO AHEAD CONNECT THE AIR CHUCK
AND FILL IT UP TO THE PROPER AMOUNT 32 PSI
32 PSI IN THE TIRE OK SO I'LL GO AROUND
WITH THE TIRE GAUGE AND THE AIR LINE AIR CHUCK
AND FILL UP ALL THE TIRES TO THE CORRECT
AMOUNT OF PSI AND THEN WE WILL GO BACK ON THE
INSIDE AND SEE IF IT SHUT OFF THE TIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM LIGHT
OR THE EXCLAMATION POINT WITH HANDS AROUND
IT AS MY WIFE WOULD SAY
ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP, THEY
WE'RE ALL LOW SOME OF THEM WERE AT 27 PSI
BROUGHT THEM UP TO THE REQUIRED AMOUNT
NOW WE'LL GO BACK ON THE INSIDE
AND MAKE SURE THAT THE LIGHT GOES OFF
SO WE'RE BACK INSIDE THE VEHICLE
LET'S FIRE IT UP MAKE SURE THAT THE TIRE
PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM LIGHT HAS GONE
OFF YEP THERE YOU GO TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM LIGHT HAS GONE OFF
THE TP,MS LIGHT IS OFF
