Hey, I have a sign that kind of looks like (!) light up in the dash. I was wondering what it means, thanks in advance.

Its the tpms system, you need to put air in your tires, the correct tire psi is on the driver side door, there is sticker that tells you how much air you should put for front and rear tires.

Thank you. I greatly appreciate it. Everyone is pretty nice on this forum compared to the acura forum I used to be on.

I've also noticed the pressure in the door jam, but don't you usually follow the psi that is stated on the tire?

No. What you see on the tire is the maximum supported PSI by the tire. What you see in the door jam is the correct weight, and should always be less than that of the tire. Follow what the door jam states for best performance. Cheers.

Are you talking about the yellow triangle exclamation point in the dash or does the symbol show up on the tach display? TPMS would be the flat tire symbol with the exclamation point. The yellow triangle flashing means traction control engaged or if steady, you have a DTC thrown.
Any msgs stored?

The TCS is a /!\ that appears (obviously) when you break traction.

The TPMS is a {!} that appears in the dash cluster when your tire pressure is low (obviously). It does not go away until you fill to the correct tire pressure.

I always thought that symbol meant I was on alert like solid snake.
