Q: What does code C0083 mean?

Tire Pressure Monitor Malfunction Indicator. C0083 is a chassis code that means the tire pressure monitor (TPM) system has commanded the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to illuminate because the control module detected a fault within the tire pressure monitoring system itself. The computer is not reporting a specific low tire; it is reporting that the TPM system cannot reliably perform its monitoring function, which may be due to a sensor communication failure, a module fault, or a wiring issue.
