What Causes Tesla Tire Pressure Warning?
1 Answers
Tesla's tire pressure warning is triggered when the pressure in any of the four tires falls outside the normal range. This usually occurs due to slow air leakage causing underinflation or overinflation of the tires. There are generally three main reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Tire Pressure Abnormality: The system typically alerts when pressure drops below 1.8bar or exceeds 3.0bar. In such cases, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Unreset Tire Pressure Monitoring: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure monitoring system isn't reset, it continues to display the previous recorded data, causing the warning light 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 inflation valve. If the sensor gets damaged during driving (e.g., by hitting a curb), it can trigger the tire pressure warning light. Damaged sensors must be replaced with new components.
