Hi!
Car: 2012 with 4k miles on it (ie pretty new). Goes in for its 3500mi first service on Thursday.
Just got caught in a HUGE rainstorm (as in, had to pull over and wait it out because I couldn't see).
After I moved on, the TPMS light came on. Inspected all tires visually and none are flat or noticeably soft.
Q1: Is it common for the sensor to fail if wet?
Q2: how do I check pressure at a gas station air pump? I know how to put air IN the tires (hardly brain surgery) but I always struggle trying to read the gauge and not let air back out (I can hear it hiss). Sorry for this ridiculously girly question but hey - if I don't ask, I'll never learn
