TPMS is an electronic system inside the tire that monitors the air pressure in your tires. If your tires are under- or over-inflated, the TPMS activates a warning light on your dashboard. It’s just the system’s way of letting you know it can’t find a TPMS unit in the spare tire, so nothing to worry about there.
What happens if you put too much air in a tire?
Overinflating your tires can make them more vulnerable to damage.
