Hello friends I need some advice on a problem I am having. My dashboard alarm says “tire pressure sensor fault.” I have checked my tire pressure many times, and it is correct. I noticed the alarm comes on after I hit a bump. I am not familiar with the TPMS sensors. Could one be loose, or do they fail like this? I have an OBDC reader but haven’t checked for codes yet. Would it tell me which sensor is the problem?

If your car’s system finds a tire pressure sensor problem, it means that one or more of your sensors aren’t working right. These devices check the tire pressure and send a message to the computer in your car.

The “tire pressure sensor fault” message on your dashboard typically indicates an issue with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
The issue could be due to a variety of reasons, such as a faulty tire pressure sensor, a sensor that has lost memory, or even a problem with the TPMS control unit or wiring.
Since you have mentioned that the alarm triggers after hitting a bump, it’s possible that one of the sensors might be loose or damaged.
