So I started my car last night and saw a new light displayed on my dash but I don't know what it's for Mar car is stock (well except for my wheels) and seems to be running a little differently. The light is right below the "brake" light on the dash and right next to the 38 mph marker on the speedo. It's an exclamation point inside of a horse shoe (well that's what it looks like to me) with the open-end of the horse shoe facing up. I don't know why it's lit up. My clutch feels funny (like it's slippin or something when I get on it a little) and it sounds like the throw-out bearing might have a problem (sounds like there's a slight rattle or something from under the car until I puch the cltch in). But I don't think it's the cover over the cat or anything. The car only has 18,000 miles on it. Could that be why the light is on? If you know what light I'm talking about, or have a manual available (I'm waiting for mine to come with the plated from the dealership), please let me know.

Thanx,
Chris

 

It's the tire pressure sensor light. One (or more) of your tires is low.

 

Really? Is that because I threw the 20's on? What do I do to turn it off since thy're not OEM spec?

Thanx again,
Chris

 

The tire pressure sensors are integrated with the valve stems on the stock wheels. When you replace your wheels, most shops will not transfer them over unless you specifically ask (and 50% of the time it's not doable).

Theres nothing you can do about that light now, it will come on after realizing that it can't communicate with the TPS system.

 

Oh ok. Thanx for letting me know.

Does the light go off after airing up the tires? The weather here in TX just turned from hot to cold, and my light came on.

 

Yes, it will. The light may also go out as the temp rises or as you drive. However, it is best just to check the pressure and fill up.

 

it cooled down (im in houston) and mine came on yesterday.... went and got them checked and they were 31 psi in front and 30 in the rear
