How to reset the tire pressure monitoring alarm on a VV7?
3 Answers
There are three methods to reset the tire pressure monitoring alarm light: The first is to check and confirm whether the tire pressure is normal. If there is an issue, adjust it to the standard pressure, then drive for a few kilometers. Typically, the system will automatically correct and reset at this point. Another method is, after confirming the tire pressure is normal, to visit an auto service shop for a tire pressure sensor check and to clear the fault code. The third method involves manually resetting via the settings button on the central console, usually by pressing the SET key. Below are related details: 1. Tire pressure monitoring light triggered by a punctured tire: If the tire is underinflated, inflate it to the correct pressure and then observe the tire pressure warning light. If it lights up again after a few days, it may be necessary to remove the tire for inspection. At a 4S shop, maintenance personnel typically adjust the front tire pressure to 2.3 and the rear tire pressure to 2.4, then clear the tire pressure alarm and advise driving for another 3-4 days to observe. If the alarm does not reappear, there is no issue; if it does, it may indicate a punctured tire, requiring another visit to the 4S shop. 2. Sometimes the tire pressure monitoring light is triggered by excessive tire pressure: According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, passenger car tire inflation pressure should meet the requirements in tables 1-15: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5 bar. Therefore, if any tire exceeds 3.0 bar, it can trigger the tire pressure monitoring light. 3. Tire pressure monitoring light triggered by prolonged driving with low tire pressure: This usually occurs when a tire's pressure is too low, causing the tire temperature to rise during high-speed operation, which in turn increases the tire pressure. In such cases, it is advisable to stop and rest promptly or replace the tire with a spare.
Last time I drove my WEY VV7, I also encountered a tire pressure warning, and that red light made me a bit anxious. Usually, the first step is to check whether the air pressure in each tire is normal. The specific values can be referenced on the door frame label or the user manual, typically around 2.3-2.5 bar. If the pressure is low, use a portable air pump or go to a repair shop to inflate it to the standard value. After inflating, drive a few hundred meters on the highway, and the system may automatically detect and clear the warning. If the alarm persists, you'll need to reset it through the vehicle's central control screen menu—find the tire pressure monitoring option in the settings and follow the prompts to confirm. Remember, if the warning keeps recurring, it might indicate a tire leak or a dead sensor battery. Don't ignore it; get it checked by a professional shop immediately. Regular tire maintenance can prevent many issues—safety always comes first when driving.
For those who frequently deal with car repairs, handling the VV7 tire pressure warning is simple: First, check the actual pressure of all four tires to ensure they reach the recommended value of around 2.4 bar. If the pressure is normal but the alarm persists, start the vehicle and drive a short distance, about 10 minutes, and the system will automatically reset. If the issue remains, access the tire pressure menu on the dashboard—usually found by clicking a few options on the central console—to manually reset it. Frequent warnings may indicate a sensor malfunction or wiring issue; don’t wait for an accident—schedule maintenance promptly. Developing a habit of regularly checking tire pressure, such as monthly inspections, can help avoid unexpected issues.
