What is the method to eliminate indirect tire pressure monitoring?
2 Answers
Indirect tire pressure monitoring can be eliminated by: 1. Checking for tire leaks and replacing them promptly if found; 2. Inspecting the tire pressure status and replenishing the pressure or replacing the tire as needed. The reasons for the tire pressure monitoring light to illuminate are: 1. Tire damage causing deviation in the pressure of the four tires; 2. High or low tire pressure leading to deviation in the pressure of the four tires; 3. High tire temperature. The functions of tire pressure monitoring are: 1. Timely alerts in case of rapid or slow air leakage when the tire is punctured; 2. Alerts when tire looseness causes unbalanced friction, leading to high tire temperatures reaching 70 degrees Celsius to prevent blowouts; 3. Alerts 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 blowouts.
I've always thought indirect tire pressure monitoring is a useful feature, but sometimes it gives false alarms, which really annoys me. To disable it, the simplest way is to use a diagnostic tool. I've used an OBD interface device—just plug it into the car's OBD port, connect to a mobile app for scanning, and then access the system menu to turn off the monitoring option. This requires some technical know-how, like ensuring the car is started, opening the software to locate the tire pressure module, and clicking 'disable' before saving. The whole process needs caution, as mistakes might trigger other faults. Personally, I recommend not tampering with it too often, as its core purpose is safety—it detects pressure loss by monitoring wheel speed changes, helping prevent blowouts. Some cars even support button combinations, like holding the menu key for a few seconds to reset, but this only works on specific models. It's best to check your vehicle's manual first to avoid damaging anything that could affect driving.
