How to reset the tire pressure monitoring light on Wuling Hongguang Mini?
3 Answers
Steps to reset the tire pressure monitoring light on Wuling Hongguang Mini: Turn off the vehicle, then turn on the power for a self-check. Inflate all four tires to the standard pressure. Press and hold the tire pressure monitoring button located on the right side in front of the gear lever for three seconds until you hear a beep, then release. The tire pressure monitoring light on the dashboard will turn off. What to do if tire pressure is low: If there is no visible damage to the car's tires, simply inflate them to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system. If inspection reveals a puncture, drive to a repair shop to have the tire fixed before reinflating it. If the low tire pressure warning appears again after inflation without any punctures, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel hub. It is recommended to check and replace the wheel hub. How tire pressure monitoring works: The system uses pressure sensors installed inside the tires to measure air pressure. A wireless transmitter sends the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module.
I've been driving the Wuling Hongguang Mini for a while now. Last time when the tire pressure monitoring light came on, I got a bit nervous. Later, I checked the manual and realized it was due to low tire pressure. This type of car usually has a standard tire pressure of 2.2 to 2.5 bar. So, I got a tire pump and checked each tire, finding that the right front tire was significantly low on air. After filling it up to 2.4 bar, the light turned off by itself after driving a kilometer or two. Sometimes, you need to press the reset button on the dashboard, hold it for a few seconds until the light flashes, and it should be fine. If the light stays on, there might be an issue with the sensor or a puncture, and it's best to visit a repair shop. Checking the tire pressure before daily drives can prevent this—safety first, after all.
The tire pressure monitoring light is quite common. For simple designs like the Hongguang Mini, the light is mostly due to uneven tire pressure. I've handled many similar cases. It's recommended to first use a tire pressure gauge to measure all four tires and adjust them to the standard value around 2.3 bar. After adjustment, drive for a few minutes and the light may turn off automatically. If not, look for the reset button, usually a small hole near the steering wheel, press and hold for a few seconds. If the light stays on, it's likely a sensor or wiring issue, and you should consult a professional to test with equipment and repair it promptly. Don't ignore small warnings for safe driving.
