Flat Tyre Warning

[jimbo1958]

Had the flat tyre warning light come on as I came into work this morn.
Have put some air into the tyres all round but the light is still on.
Is there a reset procedure?

Thanks

Yes..I copied the following from the owners manual...

Initializing the system
Each time you correct the pressure in
a tire, or change a wheel or tire, reinitialize
the system immediately afterwards.
This requires driving.
1. Start the engine, but do not drive off
2. Press the button as long as you need to
until the yellow indicator lamp in the
instrument cluster lights up for a few
seconds
3. Drive off.

The light will usually go out on mine within a few hundred yards indicating it has reset.

You need to reset the warning by holding down the button near the hood button in the centre concol. Hold down the button and it will reset

Has anyone's tyre pressure warning gone off due to flat tyre?

I've only ever heard of false alarms.... :?

Thanks Again.

It went off on mine and I did have low pressure. Inflated the tyre, reset and it's been OK since then.

Yep, when I had rfts my front tyre blew on me at 70mph. I would not of even noticed if the light did not come on. That was the only plus to rfts.

Reassuring then

Reset worked.....thanks again.

Mine came on when I had a punctured tyre so it does work I do find it goes off if a tyre drops a couple of PSI as well so it is pretty useful if you forget to check the tyre pressures.

I had a slow puncture a few days ago. Didnt know about it until my sensor went off. Rear tyre was down to 10 psi.
I topped the tyre back up to normal and reset the sensor. A few days later, I came out of work and the tyre was visibly flat.
Drove to the garage to top it up but the sensor didn't go off. The tyre had dropped to 5 psi. I followed reset procedure as decribed in the manual so unsure whether my sensor works properly or not.

Anyone else unconfident in how the sensor works?

 

[Adamski]

I wasn't confident about the sensor, but seems it does work some of the time going by posts in this thread. Equally it sends out false alarms. Not the best system IMO
