Had the tyre pressure warning come up on my dash yesterday it just said system fault and did not show me which tyre had lost pressure. Had some lights on under glovebox but not sure how this works! any way i stopped checked all tyres ,switched off . then after switching back on it lite up for a minute or so then cleared. looking under glovebox again i noticed lights flashing after start up. As i have never looked before i just wondered how this system works and what the lights under the glovebox mean. Thanks.

Mine flashes for a while after start up i guess its just calibrating.
I beleive each light is colour coded to each wheel.

Spooky.

I had exactly the same yesterday.

FIrst time the warning light has come on. Checked all pressures and they're fine.

Indeed. Check tyres when cold. I had this on both DB9 and DBS and on both occasions it was correct. One tyre was slightly under pressure, not that you would know to look at.

Minor issue tbh and many drive without TPMS but, hey, it's there so use it smile
