Tire Pressure Monitoring System

TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)

Low tire pressure activates this light. This condition affects your safety. Find an air pump, and adjust your tires to the pressure level on the decal inside your driver's door. If the light stays illuminated after a few minutes back on the road, your sensors need service.

Brake lines sometimes get air in them. They can also develop leaks over time. You'll potentially lose brake pressure if you ignore this light. We can diagnose and fix your brake system's problem.

This is a serious warning that your engine coolant is low. Never run your engine on low coolant. Even if you add coolant and drive for a bit before this light returns, you may have a leak in your coolant system. Properly fix this problem to avoid extreme engine damage.
