# Why are my TPMS lights still on after installation?

## A TPMS light is usually just a matter of syncing them to your vehicle. After about 50 miles of driving they should sync automatically, but a wheel or tire shop can manually program them if needed.

If your TPMS warning light is still on after installing your new wheels and tires, do not panic! This is a very common issue and is usually a quick fix.

**What is TPMS?** TPMS stands for Tire Pressure Monitoring System. It is a small sensor inside your tire that monitors air pressure and alerts you on the dashboard if a tire is over or under inflated.

**Why is the light still on?** There are a few common reasons your TPMS light may still be on after installation:

- Your new sensors may need time to sync with your vehicle
- Your sensors may need to be manually programmed to communicate with your vehicle
- Your tire pressure may be too low or too high and needs to be adjusted

**What to do:** TPMS sensors should automatically sync with your vehicle after about 50 miles of driving. If the light is still on after that, here are a few steps to take:

- Check your tire pressure and inflate or deflate as needed to match your vehicle's recommended PSI
- Visit a reputable wheel or tire shop equipped with the proper tools to manually sync your sensors. We do not recommend going to a dealership as they often do not have the equipment to read aftermarket sensors
- If you need a replacement TPMS sensor, contact us and we will be happy to help

**How do I know if TPMS sensors were installed?** Check your valve stems! A black rubber valve stem with a gold valve under the cap indicates that TPMS sensors are installed. A chrome valve stem indicates there is no TPMS installed.

If you are still having trouble with your TPMS after trying these steps, contact us with your order number and our team will work with you to find a solution!
