I break down six ways to deal with a TPMS warning, from an $840 dealership quote on a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado to a free calibration on a 2018 Honda Civic. I explain how dead sensor batteries, tire pressure, cold weather, programming tools, and indirect monitoring systems can all trigger the light. I also walk through direct-fit sensor replacement, finding the failed wheel, checking pressure with a digital gauge, and telling the difference between a steady warning and a blinking system fault. I show where the money goes and what to check before paying for parts your vehicle may not even use.
