What to Do When Abnormal Tire Pressure Occurs in a Car?

Solutions for abnormal tire pressure in a car: 1. Check if the tire pressure is too low. If so, a tire pressure reset is needed; 2. If it's not due to low tire pressure, it may be a tire pressure monitoring system fault. Generally, a faulty wheel speed sensor can cause the brake system warning light to illuminate, and it is recommended to visit a repair shop for a reset. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire, and its level plays a crucial role in the car's performance and power. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface, working together with the car's suspension to mitigate impacts during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving.
After driving for so many years, when I encounter abnormal tire pressure, I immediately pull over and stop the car safely. First, I check the tire pressure warning light on the dashboard and feel each tire by hand to see if it's flat or too hard. If the pressure is low, I use the portable air pump to inflate it to the manufacturer's recommended value, usually marked on the door frame. If it's too high, I release some air using a tool. If I can't handle it myself, I quickly go to a repair shop and avoid driving on the highway. Unstable tire pressure affects handling and increases fuel consumption. I make it a habit to check it myself every week to avoid problems on long trips.
