Default Tpms ?

When I got in the car today the light came on and said my tire was low but how do I know which tire it is? Looked in the manual and cant find anything?

use a tire gauge to check for the one with the low pressure mine alway act up when the temp dip low outside plus if you look at your tire u can tell which one low hope that help

To the op - the tpms on our cars don't specify which tire is low. Like laobo979 said, you have to manually check the pressure on each tire to discover which one(s) set off your warning light.

I get this on occasion. I just manually check each tire and fill air where needed.

This is one area where foreign cars are way behind domestics... even GM rentals I had several years ago would tell you pressure for each individual tire on the dash multi-display.

God people, take a visual look and see if one looks lower then the other. If you cant tell then get a tire pressure gauge for 4.99$ and take the 60 secs to check each one. Yea american cars tell you which tire is low but they also break down and when they do you cant get them fixed through warranty because the garbage service dept's are incapable of doing actual mechanic work and would rather just deny your warranty claim

Thanks for the heads up, I came from a TL that told you the pressure of each tire.
