How to reset the tire pressure warning on Maxus V80?

[JohnLynn]

Method to reset the tire pressure warning on Maxus V80: Turn on the instrument power, then press and hold the reset button until the tire pressure warning light turns off. The tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol, an irregular circle with no seal on top and four small spikes at the bottom, containing an exclamation mark inside. The illumination of the tire pressure monitoring indicator indicates abnormal tire pressure. Generally, there are three main reasons for abnormal tire pressure in the Touran: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, the system will trigger a warning if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to illuminate. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, it will also trigger the tire pressure warning light. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

Last time when I was driving my Maxus V80 on a long trip, I also encountered a tire pressure warning, which really freaked me out. I quickly pulled over to check all four tires and found a nail causing a slow leak in the left rear tire. If you're sure there's no puncture or leak, you can try this old-school method: After the vehicle is completely stopped and turned off, press and hold the tire pressure reset button at the bottom left of the dashboard, then restart the engine. Wait until the tire pressure indicator on the dashboard flashes three times before releasing the button. Remember to perform this on a flat surface, and calibration is most accurate when the vehicle is cold. If the light stays on while driving, it's likely an issue with the sensor or wiring, and you'll need to get it checked with a computer at a repair shop. It's always a good idea to keep a tire pressure gauge in the car for peace of mind—I now always carry an air pump with me.

The most annoying thing about driving a truck is the tire pressure alarm going off randomly. My V80 once had a false alarm. First, you need to confirm if there’s actually a leak by using a tire pressure gauge to check each tire. The normal pressure is 3.8 bar for the front tires and 4.5 bar for the rear tires. If everything’s fine, look below the left side of the steering wheel for a button with a tire pressure symbol. Start the car and hold it for five seconds until the dashboard beeps to reset. If the light stays on after driving 2-3 km, you might need to replace the sensor battery. A key point many overlook is the spare tire—the one hanging under the trunk also has a sensor, and low pressure can trigger the alarm. If you’ve had a tire repaired, remember to ask the technician to perform a sensor recalibration.

Here are three simple tricks to fix it. First, don't rush to turn off the engine; listen carefully for any hissing sounds. Second, open the engine compartment to locate the fuse box, remove the tire pressure monitoring fuse, wait for three minutes, and then plug it back in. Third, the most common method is to press and hold the 'SET' button on the center console after starting the car until the hazard lights flash. Once, after a tire repair, the alarm wouldn't go away, and it turned out the sensor on the rim was knocked askew by the tire changer—reinstalling it fixed the issue. Remember, after resetting, drive at a steady speed of 40 km/h for a few minutes to let the system recheck.

Auto mechanic highlights three key points. Weak sensor signals often occur in winter; don't be fooled by temperature changes. The reset button requires the engine to be running but the vehicle stationary, and it's only effective when the tire pressure value is displayed on the dashboard. The sensor in the spare tire well is particularly prone to water damage and malfunction; frequent alarms during the rainy season warrant special attention to it. If you really can't fix it, don't pull the ABS fuse as an emergency measure, as it will trigger the brake fault light. After tire repair, use a diagnostic tool to activate the sensor; small shops with incomplete equipment may mess up the matching instead.

Pro driver tip: 80% of false alarms are triggered by bumps over speed bumps. Restarting the car can solve it easily; if not, then find the reset button. When holding the reset button, the tire pressure progress bar on the dashboard will move—wait until it fills up and disappears for a successful reset. Suburban repair shops charge 300-400 yuan to match sensors, but you can actually do it yourself with an OBD module bought online for around 100 yuan. Key reminder: the sensor battery drains in 3-5 years—when alarms won’t clear, prioritize replacing the battery. My car had constant false alarms in its fourth winter; after changing the battery, it never happened again.
