How to reset the tire pressure light on the Besturn X80?
3 Answers
The method to clear the tire pressure light on the Besturn X80 is as follows: Press the MENU button on the turn signal lever, select [Tire Pressure Display] in the [Mileage & Fuel Information Menu], then press the SET button. The driver information center will display [Tire Pressure Relearn], select [Yes] and press the SET button. The horn will sound twice, and the tire pressure light will be cleared after the relearning is completed. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, an alarm will be triggered if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure monitoring system is not reset in time, it will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring light to illuminate. Simply reset the tire pressure in this case. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and 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 come on. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.
I've also encountered the tire pressure warning light issue with my Besturn X80 before. It's actually quite simple to resolve. First, park the car safely and turn off the engine. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of all four tires to see if any is significantly lower or higher than recommended. The standard tire pressure for Besturn X80 is between 2.3 to 2.5 bar when cold. After adjusting the pressure by inflating or deflating as needed, restart the vehicle. Then operate directly on the center console screen: locate the tire pressure calibration function in the vehicle settings menu, and press and hold the confirmation button as prompted. Remember you'll need to drive a few hundred meters for the system to update the data. If the light remains on, it might be due to poor sensor contact - try slapping the tire wall firmly near the sensor connector position with your palm. If that doesn't work, I recommend visiting a service shop to read the trouble codes.
I've dealt with the tire pressure warning light several times. The first step is to confirm it's not a false alarm - park on level ground and check all four tires. If the deviation exceeds 0.3 bar, it needs attention. Here's a tip: after adjusting the pressure, don't rush to reset the warning light. Drive about 2 kilometers first - the Besturn system sometimes resets automatically. For manual reset, simply use the multifunction button on the left side of the steering wheel to access the menu, then select 'Reset' in the TPMS options. Note that the new X80 model last year moved this function to the central display settings page. Important reminder: if the light stays on after tire repair, remember to check the spare tire too - many vehicles have sensors in spare tires that people often overlook.
