Handling Tyre Pressure Sensor Warnings (TPMS) for SG-Plated Cars in Malaysia | MyMechanic

Crossing into Malaysia is routine for many SG drivers, but a sudden TPMS light can create uncertainty. The warning indicates an abnormal tyre pressure condition or a sensor fault. Calm checks, safe staging, and correct inflation reduce risk—while coordinated roadside assistance remains a reliable backup across Malaysian corridors.

What a TPMS Warning Usually Means

  • Low tyre pressure from temperature changes or natural air loss.
  • Punctures caused by sharp debris or kerb impacts.
  • Faulty sensors or low sensor battery.
  • Tyre work (replacement/rotation) without a sensor reset.

Steps to Take If the TPMS Light Comes On

  • Don’t panic: The light is a warning, not always an emergency—but never ignore it.
  • Find a safe spot: Stop at an R&R, petrol station, or wide bay to inspect tyres.
  • Check visually: Look for a visibly flat tyre, sidewall damage, or uneven shape.
  • Inflate if needed: Use a station pump or portable inflator. Follow the door-sticker PSI guidance.
  • Call for assistance: For punctures or fast pressure loss, request professional help.
