Frequently asked questions
2013 Acura TL shown

On an Acura TL, the tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver’s door-jamb placard, or that the tire-pressure monitoring system has a fault. The symbol looks like a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. A steady light calls for the tire pressure to be set at the next stop, while a light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on points to a monitoring-system fault. Coggin Acura Fort Pierce in Fort Pierce, FL, provides tire-pressure-light diagnosis for Acura TL model years and helps separate a tire that needs air or repair from a sensor that may need replacement.

What the tire pressure light means on an Acura TL

The tire pressure warning is a horseshoe-shaped outline with an exclamation point in the center. When it stays steadily illuminated, one or more tires is at least 25 percent below the placard pressure. This can happen after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees, and an underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter. The pressure should be set at the next stop.

If the tires look fully inflated but the light remains on, the system still needs to be checked because appearance does not confirm pressure or sensor operation. If the light flashes for about a minute at startup and then remains illuminated, the tire-pressure monitoring system has a fault, usually involving a sensor battery that has run down.

What the diagnosis covers at Coggin Acura Fort Pierce

A tire pressure light inspection at Coggin Acura Fort Pierce begins with a pressure check of every monitored tire against the placard on the driver’s door jamb. Each tire-pressure sensor’s signal and battery status are also scanned to distinguish a tire-pressure concern from a monitoring-system fault.

The inspection includes checking for punctures and leaking valve stems. After any sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the monitoring system can recognize the serviced components. This process gives Acura TL drivers a clearer answer about whether a tire needs air or repair, or whether a sensor needs replacement. Drivers can schedule service with Coggin Acura Fort Pierce.
