What is the matching method for built-in tire pressure monitoring?
2 Answers
Built-in tire pressure monitoring matching method is: 1. Press and hold the setting button until a beep sounds to enter the pairing interface; 2. Press the toggle button once; 3. When numbers appear for the left rear wheel, first press the setting button to save, then press and hold the setting button to exit. The functions of tire pressure monitoring are: 1. It will promptly alert when there is rapid or slow air leakage due to a punctured tire; 2. It will alert when tire loosening causes unbalanced friction, leading to tire temperature reaching 70 degrees Celsius to prevent tire blowout; 3. It will alert when the tire pressure is below the vehicle's set limit due to prolonged lack of inflation, preventing low pressure from causing tire temperature rise and blowout.
Last time I got new tires, the TPMS light stayed on too. Took me a while to figure it out. Standard procedure is: inflate all four tires to the recommended pressure listed on the door jamb sticker, then start the car but don't drive. Look for a button with a car icon and exclamation mark either on the left side of the steering wheel or center console, press and hold for 5 seconds to reset (some models require accessing the instrument cluster menu). After resetting, drive for about 5 minutes to let the system relearn the new tire pressures. That's how I fixed it on my old Toyota - just note reset button locations vary significantly between models. If you've rotated the tire pressure sensors, you'll need to drive in circles to let the system reposition them. Can't find the button? Check the owner's manual. Paying the dealership $80 for a simple reset is such a rip-off.
