How to reset the TPMS warning light on GAC Trumpchi?
3 Answers
The methods to reset the TPMS warning light on GAC Trumpchi are: 1. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the air pressure of all four tires, and inflate if any tire is under-inflated; 2. After inflation, press the SET button to reset, and the tire pressure warning light will be turned off. Taking the 2021 manual luxury edition Trumpchi GS4 as an example, its body dimensions are: 4545mm in length, 1856mm in width, and 1700mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. The 2021 manual luxury edition Trumpchi GS4 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 169PS, a maximum power of 124kW, and a maximum torque of 265Nm.
I've been driving a GAC Trumpchi for over two years, and the most common reason for the TPMS light to come on is insufficient or uneven tire pressure. Check all tires, including the spare, to ensure the pressure meets the standard values specified in the manual or on the door frame sticker when the tires are cold, typically between 2.2-2.5 bar. After adjustment, start the vehicle and locate the TPMS reset button, usually found below the steering wheel or in the central control menu, then press and hold it for a few seconds until the light turns off. If it remains on, it might indicate weak sensor signals or a depleted battery, requiring a visit to a 4S shop or repair center for sensor diagnostics. Don't ignore this warning light—it helps prevent tire blowouts in rainy weather or at high speeds. Just make sure to check the tire pressure regularly, ideally once a month.
As a new owner of a GAC car, I was initially startled by the TPMS warning light. After checking the manual, I found the solution is quite simple: First, park and inspect the tires for obvious issues like nails. Then, use the onboard air pump to adjust the tire pressure to the recommended value. Next, turn the key to the On position without starting the engine, locate the button with a tire symbol on the center console or control panel, and press it for three seconds to reset the light. Remember to avoid aggressive driving, as uneven tire pressure can damage tires and increase fuel consumption. If you're unsure, online tutorial videos can guide you through the process in just a few minutes—it's both safe and cost-effective.
