What Causes the Tire Pressure Warning Light to Illuminate?
1 Answers
Tire pressure warning light illumination indicates that the air pressure in the four tires is outside the normal range. This is usually caused by slow air leakage due to punctures or nails, insufficient tire inflation, or excessively high tire pressure. Below are specific causes and solutions for the tire pressure warning light: 1. Low tire pressure: Check if the tire is underinflated. If the pressure is too low, it is recommended to switch to a spare tire to prevent accelerated wear or even damage due to insufficient pressure. 2. High tire pressure triggering the alarm: Prolonged driving leading to temperature rise may cause the warning light to activate. In this case, park in a safe area and gradually release small amounts of air until the warning light turns off. 3. External factors: Tire leakage caused by punctures such as nails. 4. Prolonged lack of inflation leading to decreased tire pressure.
