How to reset the tire pressure light on Emgrand GS?
2 Answers
Methods to reset the tire pressure light on Emgrand GS: 1. Inflate the tires to the standard pressure, and the tire pressure light will reset automatically; or 2. Press the MENU button on the turn signal lever, navigate to the mileage/fuel information menu, select the tire pressure display option, then press the Set/Clr button. The driver information center will show "Tire Pressure Relearn". Select "Yes" and press Set/Clr again. The horn will sound twice, indicating the light has been reset. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure warnings: 1. Abnormal tire pressure: The system typically alerts when pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, inspect the tires and adjust the pressure accordingly. 2. Unreset tire pressure monitoring system: After inflating the tires, if the system isn't reset, it continues using old data, triggering the warning light. Simply perform a tire pressure reset. 3. Damaged tire pressure sensor: These sensors, installed inside tires and connected to the valve stem, monitor pressure. If damaged (e.g., by road hazards), the warning light activates. Sensor damage requires complete replacement.
I've been driving the Emgrand GS for a while and encountered the tire pressure warning light issue, which is annoying but can be handled myself. Don't rush to reset the light—first ensure all tire pressures are correct. Check them in a cold state, referring to the standard values posted near the door, usually around 2.2-2.4 Bar. If the pressure is fine, start the engine until the dashboard lights up but don’t move the car. Then press and hold the MODE button on the steering wheel or navigate to the system settings in the menu, where you’ll find the tire pressure reset option. Press the confirm button, and the light will turn off. After resetting, it’s recommended to test-drive the car; if the light stays off, you're good to go. Remember, driving with abnormal tire pressure is risky and can lead to tire wear or blowouts, so I manually check it every month. Developing this habit saves a lot of trouble and extends the car’s lifespan.
