Can You Still Drive When the Tire Pressure Warning Light Comes On?
1 Answers
The flashing tire pressure warning light indicates that you should not continue driving and should promptly visit a maintenance facility for inspection. The tire pressure monitoring system automatically checks tire pressure in real-time while driving and alerts you to air leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure alerts: Abnormal Tire Pressure: The system typically triggers an alert when pressure falls below 1.8 bar or exceeds 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Unreset Tire Pressure Monitoring: If the system isn't reset after inflating the tires, it continues to display previously recorded data, causing the warning light to stay on. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged Tire Pressure Sensor: The sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If damaged during driving (e.g., by impact), the warning light will activate. Sensor damage necessitates replacement with a new component.
