Why is the Tire Pressure Warning Light On?
1 Answers
The reasons for the tire pressure warning light being on are as follows: 1. A punctured tire causing the tire pressure monitoring light to illuminate: This situation usually involves a very slow leak. If it's difficult to identify which tire is affected immediately, you can use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure (recommended: front tires 2.3 bar, rear tires 2.5 bar). If the pressure is low, inflate the tire and then observe the warning light. If it lights up again after a few days, the tire may need to be removed for inspection. 2. Sometimes the tire pressure monitoring light comes on due to overinflation: According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended inflation pressures for passenger car tires are: 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.
