    There is an amber exclamation symbol on the left side of my dashboard that just came on. I have not idea what the warning is trying to tell me. Any way I can find out without going to the dealer?

    I forgot where the TPMS light is but is it an exclamation in a graphic like this:

    If so, it's the TPMS.




    Edit: Just found an image of the dash and the TPMS light is on the right so you're talking the ! in a triangle, right?

    That's it. So I guess I need air? It does not indicate which tire or anything about what the alert is for

    It might be the hill start assist control. Does it beep at you when you are stopped? then you notice the light? Triangle with exclamation point? or is it on all the time?... oops too late. My tpms is on the right.

    It had happen to me to, the PiP and the 2008. The TPMS sign shows in because the OTT is lower and shows a different overall tire pressure. Solution is.... get a tire gauge and a surce of compressed aire and even-up the 4 tires and then reset the PTMS sensor button.

    It will not indicate which tire. You have to get a gauge and check em' and fill the low one.

    Anyone know if the OBDII data contains individual wheel TPMS readings?

    Are you close to the dealership? It's under warranty. Let them figure it out... and a low tire can mean a slow leak iie. tire damage too. I look at tire issues like this: There are only 4 items between me and the asphalt. Tires. I'd like to make sure they are good... because one blown one at 70+ and I am heading for the center divider!
