Tyre Pressure Warning Light

[apox21]

I had a blow out, a few weeks ago (I hit a curb), Called Seat breakdown service who sent out the AA. They towed me to a tyre place and got 2 tyres replaced.

My now tyre pressure warning light comes on when ignition is switched on and cannot be reset. I've tried when stationary and on the move, but with no joy.

I've checked the tyre pressures on numerous occasions and all seems fine, It seems like the tyre place didn't reset the sensors.

Does anyone know a way if there is a way i can reset the sensor without taking it to the dealer and paying a fortune for the pleasure.


Thanks

dealer shouldn't charge you if the system is faulty....

that or the tyres are different diameters on teh same axle

Thanks for that, I've checked the diameters and all are good so looks like it must be faulty.

If it is faulty will it be covered by warrenty?

not trying to tell you how to suck eggs but have you kept the set button pressed until a 'bong' is heard?

 

[apox21]

Certainly have tried pressing the button to reset it, but it doesn't do anything, the light stays on and you don't hear the beep.

 

[chrisboyle999]

is the light steady or flashing?

 

[apox21]

steady, you turn on ignition and it's on you try and reset and it won't go out

Start the car... push and hold the button for 10 seconds until the light goes off ... drive ...

Should never come back on

I press the button and hold, the light will not go off

Yeah, you have to hold the button down for quite a few seconds before you get the "bong"

did this go off as mine is on right now

just came on randomly

Took it to dealer, there was corrosion on the terminals of the switch (some drink must have been spilt on it) dealer replaced it free of charge. If light just came on, chances are you have a slow puncture, check pressures of all 4 tyres. If holfing the switch in for about 10 seconds doesnt clear the light, then take the switch off and have a look
