Tire Pressure and Engine Light came on at the same time

I understand why the tire pressure light came on and how to fix that but I was surprised when my engine light came on at the same time. The car has only 60k miles on it. Any sight as to why the check engine light would come on?

SOURCE: Oil pressure light on at idle

Don't delay on this. Take the vehicle in and have the oil pressure sensor checked. It could be just the sensor or it could be something more serious. A drop in oil pressure could lead to catastrophic engine failure.

SOURCE: TPMS indicator doesn't reset after tire pressure is normalized

Fixing the tire and setting all the tire at the proper pressure should turn the light off automatically. You might have to go to a Dodge Dealership.
The only reason that I can think of is the pressure sensor was damage when the tire repair was performed. To patch a tire, they need to take the tire off the rim. The pressure sensor can be easily damaged during this process if they are not carefully.
Just keep that possibility in mind.

SOURCE: Reset the Tire Pressure Warning light.

well it depends, if you have just reset the tire pressures, the light should go off by itself, if it doesn't then you have a bad tire pressure sensor. If you have replaced the sensor, it must be programmed into the WCM by the dealership.

Tire pressure light comes on when tires are okay. Can I reset something myself so it doesn't?

You are right, the pressure sensors can be affected by temperature. If its below 10 Degrees there is a chance they will malfunction, I had a similar problem on my Jeep Wrangler and it required a heated garage for an immediate rectification. Alternatively, some tire shops have a computer which can communicate with the tire pressure sensors and reset the sensors once they determine that the correct air pressure has been applied to the tire.

YELLOW EXCLAMATION POINT LIGHT ON DASH. WHAT DOES IT MEAN

The yellow exclamation mark appears when your TPMS, AKA tire pressure monitoring system picks up on a low-pressure tire. It means that your tires aren't inflated to the recommended pressure. A simple fix is to inflate to the required PSI, and if the problem does not go away, drive down to the nearest garage, as you may have punctured tire at your hands.

Tire pressure light comes on

You shouldn't be setting the tire pressure to the max inflation pressure listed on the sidewall, that will likely result in uneven tire wear with the center of the tire wearing out prematurely. You should set the pressures according to the listings in the door jam. Most likely 32-34psi. Also, have you checked the spare tire? Some systems monitor and will illuminate the TPMS light if the spare tire pressure isn't within an acceptable range. The spare is often overlooked when checking tire pressures because of a TPMS indicator.

Engine lights come on with an arrow pointing down what does that mean

is it an engine light or is a flat/low tire pressure light?If you TPM ( tire pressure Monitor) on vehicle each sensor lets you know that tire pressure is low, if pressures are good( check when cool, yes cold tire pressure) the batteries in each sensor could need replacing, l could be out to left field but an engine light with arrow pointing down doesn't seem right.Good Luck

The tire pressure guage is on. All tires have been checked and filled with air. Now the light won't go out. How do I reset it?

Some pressure monitor systems won't reset until the car has been driven for a distance at highway speeds.

If the sensor continues to stay on, then you may have a faulty sensor. It will be tricky to diagnose which tire has the faulty sensor though

2007 Ford F-150 a orange light with a horshoe with an exclamation point in the center is blinking in the dash. What does this mean?

well maybe u don't have a manual, so here is the difinition from the owners manual.
Low tire pressure warning (if
equipped): Illuminates when your
tire pressure is low. If the light
remains ON at start up or while
driving, the tire pressure should be
checked. Refer to Inflating Your Tires in the Tires, Wheels and
Loading chapter. When the ignition is first turned to ON, the light will
illuminate for 3 seconds to ensure the bulb is working. If the light does
not turn ON, have the system inspected by your authorized dealer. For
more information on this system, refer to Understanding Your Tire
Pressure Monitoring System in the Tires, Wheels and Loading
chapter.
