Tyre pressure warning not going away

Post by Havard » Sun Feb 19, 2017 7:22 pm

Went away in the M last weekend and had both a flat battery and a slow puncture. Got the puncture repaired this week and the warning light has remained.

I assumed the low voltage of the battery was the issue and hoped then when I swapped it, the light would have gone away. Question is, is this just an old fault that needs to be cleared or could it be a sensor issue.

Can't see it being a sensor though. The tyre did get as low as 18 Psi and the light has been on since, everytime the ignition has been switched on. Car is in the garage, going for a drive wouldn't make any difference would it?

What srhutch said. Easy mistake to make, no worries
Hope the reset fixes it. :thumbsup:

I had the same problem after repairing a puncture. The standard reset of holding the button and going for a drive didn't work for me.
I followed the reset outlined in the manual which involves ignition key positions and pressing the reset button. It worked after that. :driving:

Bollocks. I have had this car for nearly two years and wondered why there was a button there and not just a warning light...!! :roll:

As soon as I get a puncture, I forget that it is there. I did actually know, was just checking that you lot were awake.

Thank you, H.
