OBD-II Code C0755: Tire Pressure Sensor Circuit Malfunction

What Does C0755 Mean?

C0755 is a General Motors-specific code indicating the vehicle's computer lost communication with a tire pressure sensor. The computer expects a constant radio signal from each tire; when one disappears or is invalid, it triggers this code and a warning light. The specific tire location varies by model and year, requiring a scanner or service manual 🎬 Watch: GM TPMS setup and relearn procedures explained. to identify the correct wheel.

Technical definition: As a GM-specific code, C0755 indicates the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR) or Body Control Module (BCM) has not received a valid transmission from a specific TPMS sensor for a set period (e.g., 18 minutes) while driving above 25 mph. Causes include a dead sensor battery, invalid signal, or a faulty receiving module. Advanced scanners display symptom bytes like :03 (Low Voltage), :29 (Too Few Pulses), or :39 (Internal Malfunction) to pinpoint the exact fault.

Can I Drive With C0755?

Yes, But With Caution. You can drive the vehicle, but the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is blind to one tire. This is a significant safety risk; you will not be alerted to a dangerously low tire, risking a blowout. A tire underinflated by 25% is three times more likely to crash. Even a 5-10 PSI drop increases braking distance by several meters. You must manually check tire pressures until the system is repaired.

Common Causes

• Dead TPMS Sensor Battery (Very Common) — The non-replaceable TPMS sensor battery lasts 7-10 years. On older vehicles, this is the most frequent cause of a C0755 code.
• Disconnected RCDLR Antenna (Common) — The RCDLR module antenna disconnects or its coax cable fails, causing signal loss. This is a highly common issue on 2015+ GM SUVs where the rear glass connection fails, mimicking a dead sensor (TSB #16-NA-061).

• Faulty Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR) (Common) — This module receives signals from both TPMS sensors and the key fob. A failure here is common if you experience simultaneous key fob problems or multiple TPMS codes (TSB #16-NA-396).
• Damaged TPMS Sensor (Common) — The internal tire sensor sustains damage during tire installation, from severe pothole impacts, or from valve stem corrosion breaking the unit.
• Radio Frequency (RF) Interference (Less Common) — Aftermarket electronics like cheap phone chargers, dash cams, or metallic window tint broadcast radio signals that block TPMS communication (TSB PIC5650M).
• Water Intrusion into RCDLR (Less Common) — On vehicles like the Chevy Express van, roof seam or clearance light leaks drip water onto the headliner-mounted RCDLR, causing corrosion and failure.
• Module Memory Loss After Low Voltage (Rare) — A severely depleted vehicle battery or a battery replacement causes the RCDLR or BCM to lose its programmed sensor IDs, requiring reprogramming (TSB #08-03-16-001B).
🎬 Watch: How to relearn sensors after a tire rotation or replacement.
• Use of Improper Tire Sealant (Rare) — Non-approved liquid tire sealants clog the small pressure-measuring port on the TPMS sensor, leading to a fault code.

Symptoms

• TPMS Light Flashes, Then Stays On — The dashboard TPMS warning light flashes for 60-90 seconds on startup and remains lit, indicating a system fault rather than low tire pressure.
• Key Fob Not Working or Poor Range — Because the RCDLR reads both TPMS and key fob signals, remote lock, unlock, or start functions fail or suffer severely reduced range. This is a critical diagnostic clue.
• Pressure Reading Shows Dashes — The driver information center (DIC) replaces the faulty tire's pressure reading with dashes (--).
• "Service Tire Monitor System" Message — A direct message appears on the DIC instructing the driver to service the system.
• No-Start or Start-and-Stall Condition — A fault in the shared RCDLR module interferes with the anti-theft system, preventing the car from starting, often accompanied by security code B3055.
• Inaccurate Readings on Other Tires — A failing RCDLR or severe RF interference causes intermittent signal loss from multiple sensors, displaying fluctuating or incorrect pressures for healthy tires.

Used vs. New Parts: Buying Guide

When a used part is worth it: Buying a used TPMS sensor is strongly discouraged due to its limited battery lifespan. A used RCDLR module is a cost-effective option only if you have access to the specialized tools required to program it to your VIN.

Donor-vehicle mileage cap: roughly under 40000 miles for the part to have meaningful remaining life.

Donor quality checklist:

• For RCDLR modules, match the part number exactly.
• Verify the donor vehicle was not scrapped for electrical or flood issues.
• Avoid used TPMS sensors entirely.

Decision logic:

• If The part is a TPMS sensor → Always buy new. The non-replaceable battery makes used sensors a gamble.
• If The part is an RCDLR module and you have programming tools → A used module from a low-mileage vehicle is a viable, budget-friendly option.
• If The part is an RCDLR module and you do NOT have programming tools → Buy a new module and have it installed and programmed by a qualified shop. The primary cost is programming labor.

Warranty tradeoff: Used parts typically have a 30-90 day warranty. New aftermarket sensors carry a 1-2 year warranty, while new OEM parts have a 1-year or longer warranty.

Worst-case if a used part fails: $250-500. If a used RCDLR or sensor fails, you pay diagnostic and installation labor a second time.

What Happens If You Wait — Timeline

1. 0-1 month: Code C0755 sets, the TPMS light flashes then stays solid. The pressure reading shows dashes. No physical symptoms occur. (MPG impact: 0%% · Added cost: $0)
2. 1-6 months: Without warnings, a slow leak goes unnoticed. The underinflated tire increases rolling resistance and begins uneven shoulder wear. (MPG impact: 1-3%% · Added cost: $20-$50 in wasted fuel and premature tire wear.)
3. 6-12 months: Driving underinflated causes excessive heat buildup, damaging the tire's internal structure and greatly increasing blowout risk at highway speeds. (MPG impact: 3-5%% · Added cost: $200-$500 for a new tire (plus its mate) and potential rim damage.)
4. 12+ months: A catastrophic tire blowout occurs at speed, causing loss of vehicle control. The disintegrating tire damages the fender, suspension, and brake lines. (MPG impact: N/A% · Added cost: $500-$3000+ for tires, wheels, body repairs, and towing.)

Cost of Not Fixing It

• 0-3 months: Increased risk of driving on an underinflated tire, leading to reduced fuel economy (up to 3%) and accelerated, uneven tire wear. (Added cost: $20-$100 in wasted fuel and reduced tire life.)
• 3-12 months: Continued uneven tire wear requires premature replacement of the affected tire and its mate. Increased risk of tire failure on highways. (Added cost: $200-$500 for tire replacement, plus potential towing costs.)
• 12+ months: Significant safety risk from a high-speed blowout, causing loss of control and damage to the wheel, fender, and suspension components. (Added cost: $500-$3000+)

Diagnosis Steps

1. Verify the Code and Symptoms
   Use an OBD-II scanner capable of reading Chassis (C) codes to confirm C0755. Note the specified tire location. Check for symptom bytes (:03, :29, :39) to pinpoint the failure type. Verify which tire shows dashes on the dashboard.
   Tools: OBD-II Scanner (reads C-codes) (Beginner)
2. Test Key Fob Functions
   Test all key fob functions (lock, unlock, remote start) from a normal distance. If they fail or have reduced range, the RCDLR module or its antenna is the culprit, not the tire sensor.
   Tools: Key fob (Beginner)
3. Manually Check All Tire Pressures
   Use a reliable gauge to check all four tires. This confirms the problem is the monitoring system and not an actual under-inflated tire, which triggers a solid, non-flashing TPMS light.
   Tools: Tire pressure gauge (Beginner)
4. Test the TPMS Sensor
   Use a TPMS activation tool to trigger the suspect sensor. If the tool displays 'Low Battery' or gets no response, the sensor has failed and requires replacement.
   Tools: TPMS Activation/Diagnostic Tool (Intermediate)
5. Inspect the RCDLR and Antenna (2015+ SUVs)
   If the sensor tests good or key fob issues exist, locate the RCDLR module (headliner, trunk, or rear D-pillar). Inspect the module and coaxial antenna cable for loose connections, a known issue per TSB #16-NA-061.
   Tools: Trim removal tools, flashlight (Advanced)
6. Attempt a TPMS Relearn Procedure
   Follow the owner's manual to put the vehicle in TPMS 'learn mode'. If the procedure fails at the suspect tire, it confirms a bad sensor. If a relearn was skipped after a recent tire rotation, this step resolves the issue.
   Tools: TPMS Relearn Tool (if required by model) (Intermediate)
7. Advanced: Check TPMS Sensor Battery Voltage
   Use a dedicated TPMS diagnostic tool to read the sensor's battery status. A healthy sensor uses a 3V lithium-ion battery. A reading below 2.5V or a 'FAIL' status confirms the battery is dead.
   Tools: TPMS Diagnostic Tool (Advanced)
8. Pro Tip: RCDLR Voltage and Ground Check
   Disconnect the RCDLR connector and use a multimeter. Verify battery voltage (12.4V+) on the main power wire and continuity to ground (<1 ohm). A voltage drop over 0.2-0.3V under load indicates a wiring issue.
   Tools: Multimeter, vehicle-specific wiring diagram (Professional)
9. Pro Tip: Analyze TPMS Signal with Oscilloscope
   Use an oscilloscope with an RF antenna near the tire to visualize the transmission. A healthy sensor emits a distinct 315 MHz or 433 MHz burst. Absence confirms a dead sensor; a malformed signal indicates internal faults or RF interference.
   Tools: Oscilloscope with RF probe (Professional)

When This Code Triggers (Freeze-Frame Conditions)

• Vehicle Speed: > 25 mph (40 km/h) (The vehicle must be driven at a sustained speed for the system to detect a missing sensor.)
• Time Since Ignition On: > 10-20 minutes (The module waits for a set period (e.g., 18 minutes) of not receiving a sensor signal before setting the fault.)
• TPMS Sensor Status: No Transmission or Invalid Data (The code triggers when the RCDLR/BCM receives no signal, an invalid signal, or a low battery status from the sensor.)
• System Voltage: 11-14V (The TPMS and related modules operate within the vehicle's normal electrical system voltage range.)

Related Codes

• C0750, C0760, C0765 — Codes for the other three sensors. If C0755 appears alone, the sensor is the suspect. If multiple codes appear together, the problem is a central issue like a failed RCDLR, antenna, or RF interference.
• B3055, B3060 — Vehicle security codes related to key detection. Appearing with C0755 strongly indicates the shared RCDLR module is the root cause, often accompanied by 'No Remote Detected' messages.
• U0422 — Indicates invalid data from the Body Control Module (BCM). If U0422 appears, the problem is larger than the TPMS system, pointing to a failing BCM or wiring harness issue.
• C0755 with symptom bytes :04, :5A — Advanced symptom bytes indicating the sensor is malfunctioning and transmitting corrupted data (Too Many Pulses / Signal Invalid), confirming the issue is the sensor itself.

Climate & Environmental Factors

• Cold Weather: Cold drastically reduces the voltage output of the sensor's internal battery. An aging battery that functions in summer fails when temperatures drop, stopping transmission and triggering the fault.
• High Heat: Prolonged exposure to extreme heat accelerates chemical reactions inside the lithium battery, shortening its 7-10 year lifespan.
• Road Salt & Humidity (Corrosion): In high-humidity or Salt Belt regions, the metal valve stem corrodes. This causes the stem to seize to the valve cap, break during pressure checks, or leak air.

How to Talk to a Mechanic About This Code

Say this: "I have a C0755 code and a flashing TPMS light. Before assuming it's the sensor, I'd like you to check my key fob's range and for any other TPMS or security codes. I've read this indicates a bad RCDLR module."

This signals you've researched this specific GM issue. It directs the mechanic to perform a crucial 1-minute diagnostic step (checking the key fob) that differentiates between a $150 sensor replacement and a $400+ RCDLR replacement, preventing misdiagnosis.

Avoid saying:

• 'My tire light is on.'
• 'Just replace the bad sensor.'
• 'My key fob isn't working right, I think it needs a battery.'

Questions to ask before authorizing the repair:

• Did you test the key fob's range and function? Did it work correctly?
• Were there any other TPMS codes (C0750, C0760) or security codes (B3055) stored along with C0755?
• If recommending a sensor replacement, did you use a TPMS tool to confirm the sensor has a low battery?
• If recommending an RCDLR replacement, are you able to program the new module, and is that cost included in the estimate?

Where to Take It: Dealer vs Independent vs Chain

• Dealer:
  Best for: Vehicles where the RCDLR module is suspected (requires GM-specific programming)., Vehicles still under warranty., Complex electrical issues, like a no-start condition accompanying the C0755 code.
  Downsides: Highest labor rates., May replace the RCDLR without checking for simpler fixes like a disconnected antenna on SUVs. (Typical cost: +50% vs. baseline)
• Independent Shop: Good fit, but verify the shop has specific GM programming tools before authorizing an RCDLR repair.
  Best for: Out-of-warranty vehicles where the diagnosis points to a simple sensor failure., Shops specializing in GM vehicles with GM-specific diagnostic tools (Tech 2 or GDS2) for RCDLR programming.
  Downsides: Not all independent shops can program a new RCDLR module, potentially requiring a dealer visit. (Typical cost: +0% vs. baseline)
• Chain Shop: Use with caution. Fine for replacing a sensor AFTER confirming key fobs work perfectly. Avoid for initial diagnosis.
  Best for: Straightforward TPMS sensor replacement when you are certain the sensor is the only issue.
  Downsides: Technicians frequently misdiagnose an RCDLR or antenna issue, replacing a perfectly good sensor at your expense., Lack the tools and expertise for module programming. (Typical cost: -10% vs. baseline)

When to Walk Away From the Repair

If the estimated repair cost exceeds 40-50% of your car's private-party value, evaluate whether the investment is worthwhile.

• Car worth $10000, fix is $450: Fix it. A $450 RCDLR replacement is well below the threshold and resolves a key safety feature.
• Car worth $4000, fix is $150: Fix it. A simple sensor replacement is a minor cost to maintain the vehicle's safety system.
• Car worth $3000, fix is $750: Borderline. The repair is a significant percentage of the car's value. Consider this alongside other needed maintenance.

What Scan Tool You Need for This Code

Minimum: A scanner that reads Chassis (C) codes. A basic code reader handling only Powertrain (P) codes will not see C0755.

A standard $20 code reader shows 'No Codes Found' because it cannot access the Body Control Module where TPMS faults are stored.

Budget: BlueDriver Pro / Ancel BD310 (~$100) — Reads C-codes like C0755, views live TPMS data, and clears the code after repair. Confirms the code's presence.

Mid-range: Autel MaxiAP AP200 / Foxwell NT530 (~$150) — Offers manufacturer-specific diagnostics. Reads crucial symptom bytes (:03, :29) to differentiate sensor failure from module issues. Includes basic TPMS relearn functions.

Professional: Autel MaxiCOM MK808 / MK900 (~$500-600) — Offers full bidirectional control. Performs the TPMS relearn procedure and the programming required for a new RCDLR module, essential for a complete DIY repair.

Rent vs buy: Auto parts store rental scanners are typically basic code readers that cannot see C-codes. You will likely need to buy a capable scanner. A dedicated TPMS activation tool (like the EL-50448 for GM) costs under $20 for relearn procedures.

How to Clear the Code After You Fix It

1. Replace the faulty component (sensor or RCDLR).
2. Perform the TPMS relearn procedure as specified in the owner's manual.
3. Use an OBD-II scan tool to clear the Chassis (C) codes.
4. Drive the vehicle above 25 mph for at least 10 minutes to confirm the light stays off.

Drive cycle (~20 minutes): After clearing the code, drive for 10-15 minutes consistently above 25 mph. This allows the BCM/RCDLR to receive signals from all sensors in 'rolling mode' and confirm functionality.

Readiness monitors affected: Not applicable. TPMS faults do not affect emissions readiness monitors.

Watch out for:

• Clearing the code without fixing the root cause results in the code returning immediately.
• Forgetting the TPMS relearn procedure prevents the system from recognizing the new sensor ID.
• Disconnecting the battery does not clear a C0755 code and causes other module memory issues.

Will This Fail Emissions / State Inspection?

No — by itself this code doesn't fail OBD inspection (but it can keep readiness monitors from setting, which causes a separate fail).

• California: A TPMS light does not fail a California smog check, as it is a safety system, not an emissions component.
• New York: An illuminated TPMS warning light causes a vehicle to fail the annual safety inspection.
• Texas: A TPMS warning light does not fail the Texas state safety inspection, though the inspector may note it.

Most Commonly Affected Vehicles

• Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban (2007-2022) — Extremely common. 2007-2014 models often see left rear sensor failure. 2015-2022 models frequently suffer from a disconnected RCDLR antenna causing a right front code (TSB 16-NA-061).
• GMC Yukon / Yukon XL (2007-2022) — Prone to sensor failure and RCDLR antenna issues. On 2015-2022 models, inspecting the RCDLR antenna connection in the right rear quarter panel is a critical first step.
• Cadillac Escalade (2007-2022) — 2007-2014 models often point to the right front sensor. 2015-2022 models frequently suffer from a disconnected RCDLR antenna coax cable (TSBs PIT5446A, 16-NA-061).
• Chevrolet Equinox (2010-2022) — Known for RCDLR module failures (TSB #16-NA-396) causing C0755 and simultaneous key fob issues.
• Chevrolet Camaro (2011-2018) — Frequently experiences faulty RCDLR modules, causing C0755 and key fob problems.
• Chevrolet Cruze (2011-2019) — C0755 is often caused by a faulty RCDLR module. Note frequency changes: 2011-2016 use 315 MHz; 2016.5-2019 use 433 MHz.
• Chevrolet Volt (2011-2018) — Commonly sees C0755 from sensor battery failure, but RCDLR faults and antenna disconnects are also known causes.
• Buick Regal / Verano (2011-2018) — Shares platform electronics with other GM models, making it susceptible to RCDLR failure (TSB #16-NA-396).

Manufacturer-Specific Notes

• General Motors (Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Buick): TPMS sensors communicate with the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR). A known defect in this module causes TPMS codes, key fob issues, and no-start conditions simultaneously (TSBs #16-NA-396, #PIC5650M).
• General Motors (K2XX Platform Trucks/SUVs 2015+): On 2015+ full-size trucks and SUVs, a disconnected coaxial antenna cable for the RCDLR behind the right rear quarter glass causes signal loss, triggering C0755 (TSBs PIT5446A, 16-NA-061).
• General Motors (Frequency Change): GM transitioned from 315 MHz to 433 MHz sensors around 2016. You must verify the correct frequency for your specific VIN before purchasing replacements, as they are not interchangeable.
• General Motors (Recalls & Campaigns): GM has issued TPMS-related recalls, including 18255 (NHTSA 18V-509) for incorrect RCDLR calibration on 2018 Express vans, and N192279200 (NHTSA 19V731) for incorrect frequency sensors on 2020 Cadillac CT6s.
• Saab: Models built on GM platforms (2011 9-4X, 9-5) share identical system architecture, making them susceptible to the same RCDLR failures and RF interference.

Real Owner Stories

2015 Chevy Silverado with 110K miles - The Misdiagnosis

Flashing TPMS light and C0755 for the right front tire. A tire shop replaced the sensor, but the light returned the next day.

What they tried:

1. Replaced the right front TPMS sensor ($120) - code returned.
2. Owner noticed the key fob only worked when standing directly next to the truck.
3. Dealership diagnosed a faulty RCDLR module.

Outcome: Dealer replaced and programmed a new RCDLR module for $450, permanently fixing both the TPMS and key fob issues.

Lesson: If you have C0755 AND key fob problems, the RCDLR module is the culprit. Test key fob range before paying for a sensor replacement.

2016 GMC Yukon XL at 95K miles - The Free Fix

Flashing TPMS light, code C0755 (right front), and unresponsive key fobs.

What they tried:

1. Owner found GM TSB #16-NA-061 regarding a disconnected RCDLR antenna.
2. Removed the right rear interior quarter panel trim.
3. Found the coaxial cable completely disconnected from its clip.

Outcome: Plugged the antenna cable back in securely. Cleared codes, resolving all issues immediately. Cost: $0. Time: 45 minutes.

Lesson: On 2015+ GM SUVs, a disconnected RCDLR antenna is a primary cause for C0755. Check this connection before buying parts.

2012 Chevy Cruze with 85K miles - The RF Interference

Intermittent C0755, C0750, and C0760 codes, 'No Remote Detected' messages, and occasional no-start conditions.

What they tried:

1. Replaced car battery and key fob battery - no change.
2. Mechanic suspected the RCDLR but wanted more diagnostic time.

Outcome: Owner unplugged a cheap aftermarket USB phone charger. All symptoms disappeared permanently. The charger caused massive RF interference.

Lesson: Unplug ALL aftermarket electronics (chargers, dash cams) before replacing modules. RF interference perfectly mimics a failed RCDLR (TSB PIC5650M).

2014 Chevy Equinox with 140K miles - The Standard Failure

Flashing TPMS light, dashes for the right front tire, code C0755. Key fobs worked perfectly.

What they tried:

1. Confirmed key fobs worked from a distance, ruling out the RCDLR.
2. Assumed original sensor battery died based on age/mileage.
3. Replaced all four sensors during a scheduled tire replacement.

Outcome: Shop replaced all sensors for an extra $50 each and performed the relearn. Code resolved.

Lesson: If the vehicle is 7+ years old and the key fob works, the sensor battery is dead. Replace all four sensors at once to save on future labor.

How to Prevent This Code From Triggering

• Replace TPMS Service Kits During Tire Changes (Any time a tire is removed from the wheel.) — The service kit (new valve core, cap, nut, rubber grommet) prevents corrosion of the aluminum valve stem, ensuring a proper seal and preventing premature sensor failure for just a few dollars.
• Use Nickel-Plated Valve Cores and Proper Caps (During any tire service.) — Brass valve cores in aluminum TPMS stems cause galvanic corrosion, destroying the stem. Always use nickel-plated cores and plastic/rubber-sealed caps to block moisture and salt.
• Replace All Sensors at Once on Older Vehicles (When the first sensor fails after 7+ years.) — All four sensors share the same battery age. Replacing them simultaneously during one appointment saves you from paying labor charges four separate times.
• Inform the Tire Shop Before Service (Before any tire work.) — Have the technician scan and verify all sensors are working before starting work. This prevents disputes if a sensor is found faulty after the tire change.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a flashing and a solid TPMS light?

A flashing TPMS light that turns solid after 60-90 seconds indicates a system fault, like a dead sensor or bad module (C0755). A solid light from startup simply means one or more tires are low on air.

Is it safe to drive my car with the C0755 code?

Yes, but it carries a significant safety risk. The system will not warn you if that specific tire goes flat, increasing the risk of a blowout. You must manually check your tire pressure with a gauge regularly until repaired.

Why did my key fob stop working when the TPMS light came on?

On many GM vehicles, the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR) processes signals from both the tire sensors and the key fob. When this module fails, both systems stop working simultaneously. This is a primary diagnostic clue that the RCDLR, not the tire sensor, is the problem.

I replaced the sensor but the code came back. What's next?

If a new sensor doesn't fix the code, the receiving system is likely at fault. On 2015+ GM SUVs, check for a disconnected RCDLR antenna cable. Otherwise, suspect a faulty RCDLR module or verify a proper TPMS relearn procedure was completed.

What are the TPMS symptom codes like :03, :29, or :39?

These are manufacturer-specific sub-codes read by professional scan tools that pinpoint the failure. For example, ':03' means a low sensor battery, while ':29' means the receiver isn't getting a signal. Seeing ':29' on all four tires strongly points to a bad RCDLR module.

Can cold weather cause a C0755 code?

Yes. Cold weather reduces a dying sensor battery's voltage below its operating threshold. This causes the sensor to stop transmitting, triggering the flashing light and C0755 code.

Can I replace a TPMS sensor myself?

Replacing a sensor requires breaking the tire bead, which risks damaging the tire or wheel without a proper tire machine. After installation, you must perform a relearn procedure with a TPMS tool. It is best left to a professional tire shop.

Should I replace just the one bad sensor or all four?

Because sensor batteries share a 7-10 year lifespan, it is highly recommended to replace all four at once if they are original. Replacing them together saves you from paying separate labor charges when the others inevitably fail.

Key Takeaways

• Code C0755 indicates a specific tire pressure sensor has failed, most often due to a dead internal battery that has reached its 7-10 year lifespan.
• If your key fob stops working at the same time the TPMS light flashes, the shared Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR) module is the culprit, not the tire sensor.
• On 2015 and newer GM SUVs, a disconnected antenna wire behind the right rear quarter panel is a primary cause for this code and costs $0 to reconnect.
• While the vehicle remains drivable, you lose the automated low-pressure warning for one tire, requiring manual pressure checks to prevent a high-speed blowout.
