What does the abnormal tire warning light on Changan vehicles mean?
1 Answers
When a Changan vehicle displays a tire abnormality, it means the tire pressure monitoring system has detected low pressure in one or more tires. In this situation, you should slow down, brake gently to stop safely, avoid sharp turns, and correct the tire pressure when the tires are in a cold state. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: This system uses speed sensors on the vehicle's wheels to compare the rotation counts of all four tires. If one tire has lower pressure, its rotation count will differ from the others during driving. The indirect tire pressure monitoring will then detect the tire abnormality, but it won't display the specific tire pressure, only showing a low tire pressure warning on the dashboard. Direct tire pressure monitoring: This system installs pressure sensors inside or outside the tires, transmitting signals to a receiver that directly provides the tire pressure values on the vehicle's display. This allows drivers to see the pressure information for each tire, making it the more common tire pressure monitoring method in the market today. Direct tire pressure monitoring can be further divided into internal and external types based on the sensor's installation location. Although their positions differ, both internal and external tire pressure monitors operate on the same principle, but their sensors are different. Internal tire pressure monitoring installs sensors inside the tires, while external tire pressure monitoring mounts the sensors on the valve stems.
