Why is the tire pressure monitoring warning light on?
1 Answers
The illumination of the tire pressure warning light indicates that the current pressure deviation among the four tires is too large or that there is insufficient air, suggesting an issue with the vehicle's tire pressure. It is recommended to visit a professional 4S shop for inspection. Below are the reasons why the tire pressure monitoring light may be on: 1. The tire pressure monitoring light may be on due to a punctured tire. This situation usually involves very slow air leakage, making it difficult to immediately identify which tire is affected. In such cases, a tire pressure gauge can be used for measurement. 2. Sometimes, the tire pressure monitoring light is on because the tire pressure is too high. Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5 bar. Therefore, if any tire exceeds 3.0 bar, it may trigger the tire pressure monitoring light. 3. The tire pressure monitoring light may be on due to prolonged driving with low tire pressure. If a tire's pressure is too low, high-speed operation can cause the tire temperature to rise, leading to increased tire pressure. In such cases, it is advisable to stop and rest or replace the tire with a spare. 4. The tire pressure monitoring light may be on due to prolonged lack of inflation, resulting in low tire pressure.
