Tire pressure monitoring does not reset after tire repair because the tire pressure system has not been reset. The car recognizes the original tire, so the tire pressure monitoring does not reset. Additionally, it could also be due to improperly installed sensors. Tire pressure monitoring automatically checks the tire pressure in real-time while driving and alerts the driver to leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three common types of tire pressure monitoring systems: Direct TPMS: Direct TPMS uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure. The pressure data is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver if the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect TPMS: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes that tire's rolling radius to shrink, making it rotate faster than the other tires. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect TPMS essentially relies on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) overview: This system combines the advantages of both direct and indirect systems. It installs direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a four-wheel indirect system. Compared to a full direct system, this hybrid system reduces costs and overcomes the indirect system's inability to detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires like a direct system.

The tire pressure light is still on after the last tire repair, which is quite common. The sensor might have been accidentally damaged during the operation, such as being bumped when removing the wheel—repair shops sometimes overlook details; the system may need a reset, as many vehicles require driving a certain distance or manually pressing a button to update; after adjusting the wheel position, the computer might mistakenly think there's still a leak; the sensor battery could be dead, or the tire sealant might have contaminated the electronic components. I always advise friends to drive for a few minutes after a tire repair to confirm the light goes off; otherwise, take it to a repair shop immediately, as replacing the sensor can cost a few hundred. Don't delay—a lit light might mask other issues and affect braking. Just remind the technician to be careful during tire repairs in the future.

As a novice car owner, I've encountered similar situations. After getting a tire repaired, the tire pressure monitoring light just wouldn't turn off. A friend analyzed that the signal might have been interrupted during tire removal, preventing the computer from refreshing the pressure in real-time; or the sensor might have shifted during the repair and wasn't reset. The solution is simple: drive for a few minutes to see if it updates automatically; if not, head to the 4S shop and have them press a button to reset it. Once, I neglected this, and my fuel consumption inexplicably increased. Now, I've developed a habit: immediately checking the dashboard lights after tire repairs to ensure driving safety and save money.

Never ignore a malfunctioning tire pressure monitoring system. If the warning light stays on after a tire repair, it could be a system error, misleading you into thinking the tire pressure is normal while hidden risks persist. This affects braking distance, accelerates tire wear, and may even lead to blowout accidents. I've personally witnessed a friend lose control during emergency braking due to this issue. Act promptly: drive for 10 minutes to reset the system, or visit a workshop to diagnose potential sensor damage. Always choose professional repair shops for tire fixes to minimize sensor damage risks. Safety first—never take chances.
