What does tire pressure reset mean?
1 Answers
Tire pressure reset is a tire pressure monitoring operation. Generally, when the tire pressure monitoring detects an abnormality, it will trigger an alarm. If you get out of the car and check the tires and find no issues, simply press the reset button, and the dashboard warning light will stop flashing. If you find a puncture, such as a nail in the tire, deal with the issue first and then press the reset button to cancel the dashboard alarm, allowing normal driving. Tire pressure reset itself only eliminates the dashboard warning light and does not change the actual tire pressure inside the tire. What to do if tire pressure is insufficient: If no damage is visible on the car's tires, simply inflate them to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system. If a puncture is found during inspection, drive to a repair shop to have it fixed, then reinflate the tire. If the low tire pressure warning appears again after inflation, but there is no puncture, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to check the rim and replace it if necessary. How tire pressure monitoring works: Pressure sensors installed inside the tires measure the air pressure, and wireless transmitters send this information from inside the tire to a central receiver module.
