Tire Pressure Light

~1min read
GMC Terrain. Tire Pressure Light

For vehicles with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), this light comes on briefly when the engine is started. It provides information about tire pressure and the TPMS.

When the Light Is On Steady

This indicates that one or more tires are significantly underinflated.

A Tire Pressure message may also appear in the Driver Information Center (DIC). Stop as soon as possible and inflate the tires to the pressure value shown on the Tire and Loading Information label. See Tire Pressure.

When the Light Flashes First, Then Stays On

If the light flashes for about one minute and then stays on, there may be a problem with the TPMS. If the problem is not corrected, the light will come on at every ignition cycle. See Tire Pressure Monitor Operation.
