What can cause your tire pressure light to come on? There are many different reasons why it may be illuminated, and some of them could actually lead to a more serious issue. In this blog post from Boyd Chevrolet Buick in Hendersonville, NC, we will go over common causes for the light coming on and what you can do about each one!
Let's get started:
1. Air leak: Leaking air can occur and may cause pressure to go down. If this is the case, you'll want to check your tires for punctures or other issues that could be causing a slow leak. This is usually one of the easier issues to resolve as soon as you've identified the location of the leak.
2. Tire pressure too low: In order to keep your tires safe, reliable, and provide you with a comfortable ride, they need to be inflated at the appropriate PSI (pounds per square inch). This information can be found on a sticker in your car door jam or inside one of your glove boxes.
