Can the Wuling Journey's Tire Pressure Be Reset?
3 Answers
Wuling Journey's tire pressure can be reset. The method for resetting the tire pressure is as follows: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the fault light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating that the tire pressure reset is complete. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increases friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes the steering wheel to become heavy and prone to deviation, among other factors detrimental to driving safety; Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, resulting in damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving under such conditions may lead to tire blowouts; Increases tire body deformation, making the tire sidewalls prone to cracking, while also generating flexing movements that lead to excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders.
I've been driving the Wuling ZhengTu for several years and I'm very familiar with resetting the tire pressure monitoring system. When you see the tire pressure warning light on, if the issue is resolved (such as inflating the tires or replacing them), you can reset it through the central control screen menu. The specific steps are: turn off the engine but keep the electrical system on, then locate the tire pressure option in the settings menu and press the reset button. After resetting, the system will recalibrate, but make sure the current tire pressure is normal - otherwise the reset won't work. I recommend regularly monitoring tire pressure and checking with a gauge monthly, as both overinflation and underinflation affect braking distance and fuel consumption, especially during significant temperature changes between cold and hot weather. While the reset function is convenient, don't treat it as a cure-all. If the warning persists after multiple resets, there might be a sensor malfunction requiring repair at an authorized service center.
As someone who often tinkers with cars, I know the Wuling Journey's tire pressure reset is no problem. The method usually involves entering the vehicle information menu to reset the tire pressure values, and for some models, it can be done using the steering wheel buttons. Before resetting, make sure to measure each tire's pressure to match the standard values listed on the label attached to the driver's door frame. After resetting, the system updates automatically, but don't rush to drive—wait a few minutes for it to calibrate. I don't think resetting is the core solution; maintaining proper tire pressure daily is more important. For example, using a simple tire pressure gauge for regular checks can prevent sudden air leaks and ensure driving safety. If the light stays on after resetting, it might be a wiring issue or sensor aging, so it's time to inspect and repair.
