If so, I'm not sure that means you have TPMS sensors - it likely just means you needed to reset the tire pressure monitor as that is how the passive TPMS system most Canadian cars have works...

myzmak is correct... likely the flat tire monitoring (passive) system needs resetting.

M3Fanatics... No, because Canadian cars do NOT have TPMS. This is a very well known fact and something I know for sure with my own car. They have FTM in Canadian cars which compares tire rotation to determine if one tire is out of sync. If the OP has TPMS, he either has a non-Canadian car or a Canadian freak

OP... the tire in your photo looks like it has a black rubber valve stem. A car with TPMS has a metal, non-flexible, valve stem. Check the valve stems and if they are black rubber, there is no TPMS.
