Question
Why do some TPMS warnings clear automatically?
Answer
ECUs use “hysteresis logic” to avoid frequent alerts—they wait for 3-5 consecutive normal readings.
Explain
If pressure rises back to normal (e.g., driving warms the tire), the ECU clears the warning after confirming stability. CHEPQ tools show “pending warnings” (not yet cleared) to avoid technician confusion.
