Q: TPMS Light On????

asked by on January 04, 2017

Before having my tire valve (where the air goes into the tire - I believe the dealership called it a valve) replaced, my low pressure light was on. Now that the valve has been replaced, the low pressure light is off but the TPMS light is on. What does that mean?

My car has 79000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
