Why is the tire pressure gauge still on after inflating?
1 Answers
The tire pressure monitoring light may remain on after inflation due to a puncture, which requires tire repair. Steps to address the illuminated tire pressure light: 1. Check the tire pressure value: Drive slowly to a safe location, turn off the engine, wait 1-2 minutes, then restart the vehicle. After the vehicle stabilizes, check the tire pressure value displayed on the dashboard. 2. Adjust the tire pressure value: Drive slowly to a car repair shop or auto beauty shop to adjust the tire pressure. If you have your own inflation device, you can make adjustments on the spot. 3. Inflate or deflate: While inflating or deflating the tire, observe the tire pressure light on the dashboard. Stop inflating once the light turns off. If overinflated, release the excess air. 4. Manually reset the tire pressure light: If the light remains on after adjustment, it may need manual resetting. Locate the settings button on the car's center console, usually labeled SET, to reset the tire pressure. 5. Clear the fault code: If the vehicle does not support manual operation, ensure the tire pressure is normal and have a technician use a specialized diagnostic tool to clear the fault code.
