How to reset the TPMS warning light on Trumpchi GM6?
2 Answers
To reset the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) warning light on the Trumpchi GM6: Turn on the instrument panel power supply, then press and hold the reset button until the tire pressure warning light turns off. The TPMS indicator is a yellow symbol featuring an irregular circle without a seal at the top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside. When illuminated, it indicates abnormal tire pressure. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure in the Trumpchi GM6: 1. Abnormal tire pressure: The system typically triggers an alarm when pressure falls below 1.8 bar or exceeds 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. 2. TPMS not reset: After inflating tires, if the TPMS isn't promptly reset, the system continues to display previously recorded data, causing the warning light to illuminate. Simply performing a TPMS reset will resolve this. 3. Faulty tire pressure sensor: These sensors, installed inside tires and connected to the inflation valve, monitor tire pressure. If damaged during driving (e.g., by impact), the TPMS warning light will activate. Sensor damage requires complete replacement with new components.
Once the tire pressure light on my Trumpchi GM6 came on, and it took me a while to figure out how to reset it. The first step is to check if the air pressure in each tire is correct. I recommend looking at the label next to the door frame, which shows the standard range (usually 2.2-2.5 bar), and use a personal tire pressure gauge to measure each wheel. If the pressure is low, inflate it to the correct level immediately. After filling, turn on the ignition without starting the engine. There’s a TPMS reset button on the left side of the steering wheel—hold it for about 5 seconds until the light goes off. If the light stays on after driving a short distance, it might indicate a faulty sensor or a system error. In that case, it’s best to visit a repair shop and have a technician check it. Don’t ignore it—safety comes first. Developing a habit of regularly checking tire pressure can save a lot of trouble. Take time to measure it monthly, and pay extra attention during seasons with significant temperature changes.
