How to Reset the Tire Pressure Fault on a 2017 Magotan?
4 Answers
To address the tire pressure fault on a 2017 Magotan, the tire pressure issue should be resolved first. There are two methods to reset the Magotan's tire pressure warning: 1. Operate the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel and select the "Tire Pressure" option in the multifunction menu to store the current tire pressure status. 2. There is a tire pressure reset switch located beside the gear lever. With the ignition switch turned on, press and hold this button until you hear a beep, indicating the reset is complete. There are several scenarios for tire pressure faults: Rapid air leakage, high pressure, low pressure, or high temperature. The indicator light serves as a warning to the driver based on tire pressure and related issues. For instance, driving over uneven terrain may cause uneven tire pressure changes, triggering the light. If the tire pressure light is off, it's advisable to check the tire pressure monitor's functionality before driving. If the monitor fails to alert during a tire pressure issue, it may be malfunctioning. If the ON/START ignition switch causes both the indicator and TPMS lights to illuminate for 2 seconds before turning off, it could indicate that the vehicle's original receiver hasn't been properly learned and bound, or the receiver controller was replaced without proper learning and binding.
My 2017 Magotan also had the tire pressure warning light come on last month, which gave me quite a scare. Actually, the reset method is quite simple. First, make sure each tire's pressure reaches the standard value listed on the label inside the driver's door frame. After starting the car, navigate to the vehicle settings on the central display, enter the tire options, select the tire pressure monitoring system, and choose to store the current pressure. The system will then relearn, and the warning light should turn off. If the light remains on after this procedure, consider possible air leaks or sensor issues. Once, after getting a tire repaired, I forgot to reset it, but the light turned off automatically after about ten minutes of driving. However, if the light stays on continuously, it's best to visit a 4S shop to check the tire pressure sensors—sometimes the sensor battery might be dead or water ingress in the wiring could cause false alarms. It's advisable to check tire pressure monthly, especially during seasonal changes when temperature fluctuations significantly affect tire pressure.
Don't panic when the tire pressure warning light comes on. First, check if the pressure in all four tires is consistent, and don't forget the spare tire. Turn on the vehicle's power without starting the engine, then navigate to the vehicle options in the central control menu. Scroll down to the tire settings and follow the prompts to reset the tire pressure. After completing the reset, drive for about 3-5 kilometers; the system will automatically calibrate, and the warning light should disappear. If it doesn't go off, there might be an actual leak. I once experienced a slow leak in the left rear tire—the light only went away after fixing the tire and resetting the system. Note that the tires must not have obvious damage, or the reset won't work. The Magotan's sensors are quite sensitive, triggering an alarm even with a 0.2 bar pressure difference. In winter, you can slightly increase the tire pressure to prevent false alarms during cold starts. Also, clean the wheel hub sensor area during regular car washes, as oil and dirt buildup can interfere with the signal.
Dealing with the tire pressure warning light involves two steps: First, manually measure and adjust the tire pressure to the standard value, remembering that measuring when the tires are cold is most accurate. Then, get in the car and press the CAR button on the center console to enter the settings, select the tire pressure monitoring option, and click to store the current values. After starting the car, shift to P mode to allow the system to re-record the tire pressure. Drive out and make a few turns, and generally, the warning light will turn off. If the light keeps coming on repeatedly, it might indicate a sensor malfunction or abnormal wheel speed signal. Last time, I installed new tires without doing a wheel balance, and the system kept giving false alarms.
