Why is the tire pressure warning light on?
1 Answers
The tire pressure warning light comes on when the pressure in any of the four tires falls outside the normal range. If the tire pressure is abnormal, it is recommended to stop driving immediately and check the tires. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: The system typically triggers an alert when pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, inspect the tires and adjust the pressure accordingly. Unreset tire pressure monitoring system: After inflating the tires, if the system is not reset, it will continue to display the previously recorded data, causing the warning light to stay on. Simply reset the tire pressure monitoring system to resolve this. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors the tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged during driving (e.g., by hitting a curb), the tire pressure warning light may illuminate. In such cases, the only solution is to replace the faulty sensor with a new one.
