Will Running Over a Stone Cause Abnormal Noise and Affect the Tire?
1 Answers
If the abnormal noise is caused by small stones and is not significant, it will have little impact on the tire. Simply clean it promptly after parking. If the vehicle runs over a large, sharp stone or a small sharp stone gets stuck in the tire during driving, it can easily puncture the outer rubber layer of the tire and damage the inner tube, significantly increasing the risk of a flat tire. Therefore, try to avoid running over large stones while driving, and promptly remove any sharp stones stuck in the tires. Tire Pressure Monitoring Light On: The tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol—an irregular circle without a seal on top, with four small spikes at the bottom and an exclamation mark inside. The tire pressure monitoring light turning on indicates abnormal tire pressure. Abnormal tire pressure generally has the following three causes: 1. Abnormal tire pressure: The system usually alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, a tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. 2. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset promptly, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring light to turn on. Simply reset the tire pressure to resolve this issue. 3. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, it can also trigger the tire pressure warning light. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new part.
