Question
Why do some TPMS warnings not specify which tire is faulty?
Answer
The vehicle uses a “single-antenna” system that can’t triangulate sensor position.
Explain
Single-antenna TPMS (common in budget cars) only detects low pressure, not location. CHEPQ recommends upgrading to multi-antenna systems for position-specific alerts.
