How to reset the tire pressure warning light on Wuling Journey?

The tire pressure monitoring warning will be displayed on the instrument panel screen of the Wuling Journey. Click the tire pressure monitoring warning to pop up the SET button, then press and hold the SET button to reset the tire pressure light. The following is an introduction to tire pressure monitoring: Tire pressure monitoring automatically monitors tire pressure in real-time during vehicle operation and alerts drivers about tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are two common types: 1. Direct tire pressure monitoring system: Uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure, transmitting pressure data wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, then displaying each tire's pressure data. The system automatically alerts when tire pressure is too low or there's a leak. 2. Indirect tire pressure monitoring system: When a tire's pressure decreases, the vehicle's weight causes that wheel's rolling radius to become smaller, making it rotate faster than other wheels. By comparing rotational speed differences between tires, it monitors tire pressure. Indirect systems actually rely on calculating tire rolling radius to monitor pressure.
Last time I spent quite a while helping my buddy deal with the Wuling Journey's tire pressure warning light, and I've summarized a reliable procedure. First, park the car, turn off the engine, and wait ten minutes for the system to reset. Then, start the car and navigate through the settings menu on the center console to find the tire pressure calibration option under vehicle settings. The key step is to use a tire pressure gauge to measure the actual pressure of each tire. For cold tires, the front wheels should be at 2.3 and the rear wheels at 2.5. If there's any deviation, use an air pump to adjust to the standard value. After confirming the calibration in the car, drive it for about two kilometers to let the system self-check, and the yellow exclamation mark on the dashboard will turn off. If a tire has been punctured by a nail, it must be repaired first; otherwise, the warning will keep coming back. Developing a habit of checking tire pressure monthly can effectively prevent false alarms.
As a long-time Wuling owner, I've dealt with tire pressure warnings three times, and it's a simple four-step process. First, check all four tires for nails or obvious leaks. If everything looks fine, start the engine but don't drive off immediately. Press the menu button on the right side of the steering wheel to switch to the vehicle information display, then hold the OK button for five seconds to enter the tire pressure calibration interface. Make sure the tire pressure is within the specified range—the standard values are on the sticker inside the driver's door frame. During the system reset, the dashboard warning light will blink three times before turning off. Finally, drive to a repair shop and have a technician double-check with professional equipment for peace of mind. If you notice frequent false alarms, it might be due to dust in the sensors, which requires removing the wheel hub for cleaning.
A while ago, the tire pressure warning light in my Journey came on, which scared me into pulling over. Later, I figured out the solution. The key is to distinguish between temporary false alarms and actual faults: a slow leak warning won't disappear on its own, while a false alarm might clear after driving a few kilometers. When manually operating, remember to use the up and down buttons in the steering wheel control area to select maintenance settings, then find the TPMS reset option to perform initialization. Always wait for all tires to cool down before measuring pressure, as data taken right after highway driving is inaccurate. You can buy a tire pressure gauge at an auto parts store for just around thirty bucks—keep it in the trunk for easy access. Seasonal temperature changes are especially prone to triggering alarms.
