Question
Why do some TPMS warnings take minutes to appear after pressure loss?
Answer
ECUs wait for 2-3 consecutive low-pressure packets to avoid false alerts.
Explain
This prevents warnings from temporary pressure dips (e.g., hitting a pothole). CHEPQ tools show “pending low-pressure” status to indicate the ECU is monitoring the issue.
