What Causes Low Tire Pressure in a Car?
1 Answers
Tire pressure being too low is generally caused by the following 3 reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: The system usually alerts when pressure falls below 1.8 bar. At this point, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring system not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset isn't performed promptly, the system continues to record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this. 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 by impact while driving, it can also trigger the tire pressure warning light. In case of sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one. Tire pressure reset: A tire pressure reset is the operation of resetting the tire pressure monitoring system after addressing the tire pressure issue. Tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "ding" sound before releasing. The system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete.
