Can You Still Drive with the Tire Sensor Malfunction Light On?
1 Answers
You should not continue driving. This is usually caused by a damaged tire pressure sensor, and replacing the sensor will resolve the issue. The characteristics of the sensor include: miniaturization, digitization, intelligence, multifunctionality, systematization, and networking. It is the primary link in achieving automatic detection and control. Below is relevant information: Inspecting the Tire Monitoring System: When the system malfunctions, the tire pressure warning light will flash for about 1 minute, and the DIC will display "Service Tire Monitor System." If one or more tire pressure sensors fail to send any signal within a certain period, the tire pressure monitoring system will set a fault code, display this message, and make the warning light flash for about 1 minute, remaining lit for the rest of the ignition cycle. If the system fault is intermittent, the warning message/light may also be intermittent, lighting up in some ignition cycles and turning off in others. At this point, use a diagnostic tool to check the vehicle and perform repairs as indicated by the fault code. Low Tire Pressure: Warning for Low or High Tire Pressure. If the tire pressure monitoring system detects that a tire's pressure is below the calibrated value, the DIC will display a message such as "XX Tire Pressure Low" or "XX Tire Pressure High," and the tire pressure warning light will illuminate and remain lit. The warning message and light may operate intermittently, especially in cold weather.
