2010 civic tyre pressure warning light!?


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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 :)

Hi All

 

Thats brilliant thanks for all of your input. That video from Paul looks especially useful! B)  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! :)
