Im having with tire pressure it comes on across the dash even though my tires are aired up what causes it to come on
My car has 82000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
Experienced mechanics share their insights in answering this question :
Your car has sensors at each of the four wheels that monitor the tire pressure at each tire. When these tire pressure sensors fail, you may notice inaccurate readings as to your tire pressure. In some cases such as yours, you may not receive any kind of indication. In extreme temperature conditions such as very warm or very cold, you may also notice the tire pressure changing. I would recommend having a professional from YourMechanic come to your location to diagnose and inspect your tire pressure monitoring system.

The simplest way to reset a Nissan`s TPMS light is to drive the vehicle at 50 mph or above for 10 minutes once the tires are back up to pressure. The next time you restart your Nissan, the TPMS sensor should be reset.
The most common reasons a Nissan Versa tire pressure warning light stays on are a leaking tire, a wheel that no longer holds air, or a faulty tire pressure monitoring system.
If your TPMS light remains on after inflating the tires to the proper pressure, try these steps: Drive the car at 50 mph for about 10 minutes. This should reset the tire sensors, and the next time you start the car the TPMS light should be off.
The recommended pressure is usually between 30 and 35 PSI – the minimum amount of pressure a tyre needs to support the vehicle`s maximum load-carrying capacity.
Specifically, the level of 40 psi can be suitable for passenger cars or sports cars. But this is too high for small cars with a recommendation below 35 psi, while 40 psi is too low for large trucks. The recommended level for the tires of famous sports cars and passenger cars is between 32 -40 psi.
If your TPMS light remains on after inflating the tires to the proper pressure, try these steps: Drive the car at 50 mph for about 10 minutes. This should reset the tire sensors, and the next time you start the car the TPMS light should be off.
If the light flashes for approximately 60 to 90 seconds every time you start your car and then remains illuminated, this means the TPMS isn`t functioning properly and you should take it to an automotive service center for an inspection.
If your TPMS light remains on after inflating the tires to the proper pressure, try these steps: Drive the car at 50 mph for about 10 minutes. This should reset the tire sensors, and the next time you start the car the TPMS light should be off.

ANSWER : Your car has sensors at each of the four wheels that monitor the tire pressure at each tire. When these tire pressure sensors fail, you may notice inaccurate readings as to your tire pressure. In some cases such as yours, you may not receive any kind of indication. In extreme temperature conditions such as very warm or very cold, you may also notice the tire pressure changing. I would recommend having a professional from YourMechanic come to your location to diagnose and inspect your tire pressure monitoring system.
My car’s tire pressure monitoring system lights come on when the tire pressure is normal
ANSWER : Your car is equipped with wheel speed sensors on each of the four wheels which monitor wheel speed while relaying this information to the ABS and traction control system (ESC) which are controlled by the car’s ECU. When the ECU senses an abnormal speed given specific conditions, it engages the ABS or traction control as needed to control the vehicle. Occasionally, these sensors can fail or only work intermittently, sending inaccurate signals to the ECU. When this happens, you may experience the symptoms you have described. The ABS or traction control system may be inadvertently activated by these false or inaccurate signals.
Your TPMS system works the same way in that there are sensors that monitor the tire pressure relaying this to the car’s computer. These sensors are known to go bad occasionally. Keep in mind this can also fluctuate easily with changes in air temperature, as this changes the density of the air which will affect the way these sensors read tire pressure. With regard to your heater turning off and on, this may be related to the blower motor relay which is what directs power to the heater blower motor. When this is faulty, this may cause the blower fan to work intermittently or sometimes not at all. I would suggest having a professional, such as one from YourMechanic, diagnose your ABS and traction control system to determine the cause of this.
Pressure monitoring system comes on eventhough air pressure in tires is normal
ANSWER : There are many potential causes for this. If the light stays on continuously, the tire pressure may not be set correctly or the system may need to be reset.
Changes in ambient temperature can also affect TPMS operation, since tire pressure drops in cold weather.
If both the low tire pressure and TPMS indicators are illuminated, then the Engine Control Module (ECM), or Electrical Control Unit (ECU), has detected a problem with the system. In this case, the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) should be retrieved to start the diagnostic process.
Anything from a failed sensor to a problem with the control module could cause both lights to be illuminated. I suggest you get a second opinion from someone other than the dealership. YourMechanic is an excellent option to get your trouble codes diagnosed, since we make house calls.
No hot air inside the cabinet ? Unbalanced air temperature comes from outlets 2010 Toyota Prius
ANSWER : Hi – your symptoms suggest the air blend doors in the heater air control box are not selecting the right proportion of heated air. This may possibly be aggravated by an engine that is not completely up to running temperature (left of center on the gauge). This could be caused by a thermostat which is not functioning properly. I recommend a heater inspection by a mobile, professional mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, who will come to your location, diagnose this problem, give you an accurate assessment of damage and cost estimate for repairs.
Hot air mixed with cold blows from air conditioning
ANSWER : Hey there. You will most likely have to have a mechanic bypass the heater coolant lines to have this resolved. Your A/C may not be controlling the air flow inside the evaporator correctly out of the vents and may be the blend door actuator stuck in the heat position. Have the AC system diagnosed first before bypassing the heater.
A/C vent issues
ANSWER : Hi there. Diagnosing AC vent issues really should be done onsite; as there are multiple small components, electrical systems and relays that make up the control section of the AC and heating system on your Cadillac. It’s best to have a professional mobile mechanic complete an AC is not working inspection at your location, so they can pinpoint the source of this vent issue and recommend the right repairs.
Cold mist/smoke like air comes out of the air vents when cold air is on.
ANSWER : If you are using regular outside air a/c instead of recirculated air you may be getting a large amount of outside air humidity and can cause a mist to come out of the a/c vents. You should make sure the a/c evaporator drain is cleared and drains freely or the water in the a/c cannot drain fast enough and the blower will pick up the water and blow it out the vents.
air conditioning problem – 2005 Nissan Sentra
ANSWER : Hey there. It does sound like you have electrical problem(s). Some cars have a blower motor resistor "block" which goes bad (resistors "open"). So, it could be something straightforward like that but it could also be another fault in the circuit. Fixing electrical issues are relatively inexpensive compared to more involved repairs. If you would like to have this looked at, a certified technician from YourMechanic can inspect your AC system to diagnose the root causes for this problem.
