How to Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System?
1 Answers
Taking Volkswagen as an example, the method to reset the tire pressure monitoring light is as follows: Turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the SET button of the tire inflation pressure control system (the tire monitoring button is the black button located on the front panel near the gear lever) until the dashboard indicator light comes on. After confirming that the new tire parameters are stored and the light goes off, the tire pressure reset is complete. Here are the specific reasons why the tire pressure monitoring indicator light may come on: 1. Punctured tire: Use a tire pressure gauge to measure. The normal values are 2.3 for the front tires and 2.5 for the rear tires. If the tire is underinflated, inflate it to the proper level and then observe the tire pressure warning light. 2. Overinflated tire: The standard tire pressure is 2.4-2.5 bar; reinforced tires should be 2.8-2.9 bar. The maximum pressure should not exceed 3.5 bar. Therefore, if any tire exceeds 3.0 bar, it will trigger the tire pressure monitoring light. 3. Driving with low tire pressure for too long: This usually occurs when a tire is underinflated, causing the tire temperature to rise during high-speed driving, which in turn increases the tire pressure. In such cases, you should stop and rest or replace the tire with a spare. 4. Tire pressure drops due to prolonged lack of inflation: When the pressure falls below 1.8 bar, the tire pressure monitoring light will come on. Regular checks should be performed to ensure the tire pressure monitor is functioning properly. If the tire pressure monitor does not alert you in time when an issue arises, it may indicate a problem with the monitor itself.
