Service Tire Pressure Monitor System.
The tire pressure monitor system in todays cars use a radio frequency (RF) transmitter
( Tire Pressure Sensor ) in each wheel valve stem to relay pressure information to the
module. The Service Tire Pressure Monitor System light / warning means there is
a problem in the system, not a low tire.
The Low tire pressure warning would come on for a low tire.
The system would need to be scanned for codes if the
service monitor system warning comes on.
After a tire rotation, the tire positions need to be relearned in order for the system to
tell you which tire is low. A special procedure and tool is need to do this.

| 12-1-11 my Saturn Vue is out of alignment, would that cause my low tire sensor to be on and would it cause my traction control light to stay on? |
Comments
| No. You either have a tire low air pressure, or a faulty sensor. Have the ABS computer scanned for codes for warning light. |
