What causes the tire pressure light to illuminate in the 2019 Bora?
2 Answers
Reasons for the tire pressure light illuminating in the 2019 Bora: Abnormal tire pressure: Generally, an alarm will trigger if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or exceeds 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset promptly, the system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator 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 tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, the tire pressure warning light will illuminate. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new component. The tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol featuring an irregular circle without a seal on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside. The illumination of this indicator signifies abnormal tire pressure.
My 2019 Bora frequently has the tire pressure warning light coming on, which is quite annoying as an owner. The usual causes are uneven tire pressure or values below the standard. Temperature fluctuations have a significant impact due to thermal expansion and contraction – sudden weather changes make the pressure drop quickly. I've experienced slow leaks from small nails puncturing the tires. The checking method is simple: get a good tire pressure gauge to measure all four tires (standard values are usually around 2.3-2.5 bar, marked on the fuel filler cap or door frame label). If the light stays on after confirming proper pressure, the TPMS may need resetting via long-pressing the SET button on the steering wheel. Safety-wise, never ignore the warning light – insufficient pressure accelerates tire wear and increases fuel consumption. I make it a habit to manually check pressure monthly and stay alert for unusual noises while driving. When in doubt, visit the dealership for professional inspection to eliminate safety risks – this isn't something to delay.
