The tire sensor fault just came on what's that mean
My car has an automatic transmission.

Hi Nora. Thanks for contacting us tonight. The “Tire pressure sensor fault” warning means that a sensor isn’t communicating with the rest of the system. It’s typically due to the sensor being damaged. It’s recommended to replace these sensors anytime you replace tires.
