Steve-O Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Alright there! Randomly a tyre pressure light came on whilst going down the M1 at the weekend. I didn't even know my Civic had one!! I checked the pressures and all were around 30psi (so no puncture as the cars not been topped up for a whlie) and normally they are 32-34psi. I topped them to 32psi and its still on. Anyone got any ideas how to reset this light!? Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Is there a button to hold down when the pressures are correct? There seem to be two main types in my experience , ones that calculate changes in the rolling resistance using the abs sensors and those than use a physical sensor in the wheel that communicates the pressure to a control unit.

parthiban Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Quite normal for that to happen occasionally, sometimes when you hit a pothole the sudden jolt in pressure can trigger the sensor. Each car is different, our Mini has a button while on the Merc it's through the steering wheel menus - have a look on youtube as there's always a video of how to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liner33 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 My 370z has the sensors in the wheels , its a dealer job is one goes faulty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Their spot on Steve..... Nearly all warning lights have to be re-set once activated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-O Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hi All Thats brilliant thanks for all of your input. That video from Paul looks especially useful! I reckon i'll have that gone when i drive home tonight! It was just odd that it came on on the motorway and i haven't smashed the wheels anywhere - unless the standard issue mini holes are doing it!! Didnt even realise it was clever enough to know it had low pressures to be honest - you learn something everyday! Will let you know how i get on!
