How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on the Outlander?
2 Answers
The method to reset the tire pressure light on the Outlander: Turn on the car's power, then press and hold the reset button until the low tire pressure warning light turns off. Additional information about tire pressure monitoring is as follows: 1. The tire pressure monitoring device transmits data from the tire pressure monitoring sensors inside the tires to the vehicle's computer. While driving, the tire pressure monitoring system continuously transmits and automatically monitors tire pressure to ensure driving safety. 2. There are two types of tire pressure monitoring systems installed in vehicles: one is indirect tire pressure monitoring, which compares the rotational speed differences between tires using the wheel speed sensors in the car's ABS system. The second type is direct monitoring, which uses tire pressure monitoring sensors installed in the tires to measure pressure directly and displays the data via the vehicle's computer. While driving, if there is a change in tire pressure, it will be directly indicated on the car's dashboard.
When the tire pressure light comes on in my Outlander, I usually handle it myself. First, I grab a tire pressure gauge and check all four tires. The standard value is around 2.1 to 2.4 bar—adjust if it's too high or low. After adjusting, take a 10 to 15-minute drive at a steady speed on the highway; the system often detects the change and turns the light off automatically. If it stays on, don’t worry: start the car without igniting it, press and hold the RESET button on the left side of the steering wheel for about 5 seconds, and wait for the dashboard light to flash, confirming the reset. If it still doesn’t go off, it might be a sensor or battery issue—that happened to me last time, and a trip to the repair shop for a replacement fixed it. Regular tire maintenance and checking pressure during seasonal changes can help prevent this issue.
