The method to reset the tire pressure warning light on the Trumpchi GM8 is as follows: 1. Start the vehicle and press the vehicle information button on the central display screen; 2. Select the tire settings option in the vehicle settings menu on the central display; 3. Press the SET button; 4. Choose 'Confirm' in the pop-up box; 5. Once the tire pressure monitoring system initialization is complete, the tire pressure warning light will be reset. The Trumpchi GM8 is an MPV model equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, delivering 252 horsepower and a maximum torque of 390 Nm. The engine reaches its peak power at 5,250 rpm and achieves maximum torque between 1,750 to 4,000 rpm. The vehicle dimensions are 5,066 mm in length, 1,884 mm in width, 1,832 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,000 mm.
Last time I drove the Trumpchi GM8 and encountered the tire pressure warning light, it gave me a headache too, but I figured it out myself later. First, make sure all four tires are inflated to the standard pressure—the recommended value is labeled on the door frame near the passenger seat. In winter, adding 0.1-0.2 bar is fine. Then, start the car but don't drive off. Use the multifunction buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to find the settings menu, navigate to the tire pressure monitoring option under vehicle information, and hold the OK button for three seconds until it shows 'Reset Successful.' Note: the electronic parking brake must be engaged during this process. If the light still flashes after driving 10 km post-reset, it’s likely the tire pressure sensor is faulty and needs replacement at a 4S shop. In summer, tire pressure can rise by about 0.3 bar after exposure to intense heat, so adjusting it when the tires are cold is most accurate.
Actually, there are just two key steps to reset the TPMS warning light on the GM8: pressure adjustment and system reset. I always remind friends to first measure the actual pressure with a tire gauge, and don't forget to check the spare tire. The standard values are usually 2.3 bar for front tires and 2.5 bar for rear tires. After inflation, remember to tighten the valve stem caps. The easiest way to reset is through the center console screen - swipe left to enter vehicle settings, select TPMS reset, then hold the confirmation button until you hear a beep. If the infotainment system freezes, disconnect the negative battery terminal for five minutes to reboot. If the light remains on after resetting and driving two kilometers, it might indicate a slow leak from a nail puncture. I always keep tire repair gel in the trunk for emergencies.
