What is the reason why the tire pressure light of the 09 Lavida cannot be turned off?

Tire pressure monitoring indicator light is a yellow symbol, an irregular circle with no seal on the top and four small spikes at the bottom, with an exclamation mark inside. The illumination of the tire pressure monitoring indicator light indicates abnormal tire pressure. Abnormal tire pressure is generally caused by the following reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Generally, an alarm will be triggered if the pressure is below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. At this time, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the original data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator light to illuminate. At this time, simply perform a tire pressure reset. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor is used to monitor tire pressure and is directly installed inside the tire, connected to the tire inflation port. If the tire pressure sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, it will also cause the tire pressure warning light to illuminate. For sensor damage issues, only a brand-new replacement can be installed.
I've been working in an auto repair shop for over a decade and have dealt with many older models like the 09 Lavida. The stubborn tire pressure warning light can indeed be quite annoying. The most common cause is uneven tire pressure - I recommend using a tire pressure gauge to check each wheel, ensuring all four tires are within the standard range. Another major issue is TPMS sensor failure, especially for 09 models that have been used for over ten years - the sensor battery might be depleted or corroded from water damage. I've encountered cases where owners didn't press the reset button correctly - for the Lavida, the reset button is on the dashboard, just hold it down for a few seconds until the light flashes. But if the light won't turn off, you'll need to check for wiring faults or a malfunctioning control module. Finally, I must emphasize: don't delay fixing this, as it poses significant driving risks. The most straightforward solution is to visit a professional shop for computer diagnostics - it saves trouble by preventing minor issues from becoming major ones.
