Can You Still Drive When the Tire Pressure Yellow Light Is On?
1 Answers
You can still drive when the tire pressure yellow light is on. There are two colors for indicator lights on the dashboard: yellow reminds the driver that there is a minor issue with the vehicle, but it does not affect driving, and you can proceed to the nearest repair shop for inspection; red indicates a serious fault, and the vehicle must not continue driving—immediately stop and check for repairs. Tire pressure monitoring light on: The tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol, an irregular circle with no seal on top and four small spikes at the bottom, containing an exclamation mark inside. The tire pressure monitoring light turning on indicates abnormal tire pressure. Abnormal tire pressure is generally caused by one of the following three reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, an alert is triggered when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, the tires need to be checked and the pressure adjusted. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring light to turn on. Simply reset the tire pressure to resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor is used to monitor tire pressure and is directly installed inside the tire, connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving (e.g., by hitting a curb), the tire pressure warning light will also turn on. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.
