Why is the Weilitong Tire Pressure Monitoring Not Displaying?
3 Answers
Tire sensor issues, replacement needed. Under normal circumstances, it's unlikely for all four tires to have abnormal pressure simultaneously. This may indicate a problem with the tire pressure system or the tire pressure sensors. Tire pressure monitoring is not a real-time function. When a tire abnormality occurs, the dashboard will automatically display information. The display does not show specific values, only indicating which tire has a problem. The working principle of tire pressure monitoring is: Using pressure sensors installed inside the tires to measure tire pressure, wireless transmitters send pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module. Methods to eliminate tire pressure warnings: There is a tire monitoring indicator button on the central console. After the system issues a low tire pressure warning, the vehicle must remain stationary for about one minute. Do not move the car or turn off and restart the ignition until pressing the button to recalibrate the tire monitoring indicator. Find the tire pressure reset option in the settings on the central display. If none of the above works, visit a 4S shop to eliminate the tire pressure warning. What to do if tire pressure is insufficient: If no damage is visible, simply inflate to normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system. If inspection reveals a puncture, drive to a tire shop for repair, then reinflate. If the low pressure warning reappears after inflation without any punctures, it may be due to air leakage caused by rim deformation. It's recommended to check the rim and replace it if necessary.
My car is equipped with the VICTON TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), which suddenly stopped displaying last week, making me very nervous while driving. I checked that the monitor was lit but showed no data, and the tires were normal without any deflation. I suspected it was a sensor battery issue since built-in batteries typically last three to five years, and mine had been in use for four years. I searched online for reset methods and followed the manual by driving slowly for a few minutes, but the signal couldn’t be received. Finally, I went to a repair shop where the technician used a tool to diagnose that the battery in the rear right wheel sensor was depleted. After replacing it, the system returned to normal. I usually neglect checking it, but this incident reminded me to ask technicians to inspect the sensor status during annual maintenance and replace it in advance to avoid trouble. The TPMS is essential for safety, and missing displays can make driving uneasy, especially on highways.
As a DIY car repair enthusiast, I've dealt with cases where the VICTON tire pressure monitor fails to display. There are several possible causes: the most common is depleted sensor batteries (lifespan 3-5 years), display unit malfunction, or lost pairing. First, I check if the display power is functioning properly and try relocating it away from strong interference sources like high-voltage power lines. The manual usually has reset button instructions or suggests driving several rounds to reactivate. If that doesn't work, I connect to the system via mobile APP to check error codes (some models support this), or visit a professional shop for sensor hardware diagnosis. I always keep spare batteries on hand - learning these skills can save money. Regular maintenance is crucial; don't wait until sudden problems affect driving safety.
