What Causes the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light to Illuminate?

[Sherry]

The low tire pressure warning light illuminates due to abnormal tire pressure. If this light comes on while driving, remain calm and avoid panic. Immediately reduce your speed, refrain from sharp steering or sudden braking, and find a safe place to stop and inspect the tires. Both underinflation and overinflation can trigger the tire pressure warning light. When faced with this warning, the first step is to restore the tire pressure to its normal value before addressing how to turn off the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning light. There are generally three methods to reset the low tire pressure warning light: 1. Check and confirm if the tire pressure is normal: If there is an issue, adjust it to the standard pressure, then drive a few kilometers. Typically, the vehicle's computer will automatically reset the system. 2. Inspect the tire pressure sensor: If the tire pressure is confirmed normal, visit an auto service shop to have the tire pressure sensor checked and any fault codes cleared. 3. Manual reset: Locate the settings button on the central console (usually the SET key) to perform a manual reset.
