Frequently asked questions
2013 Dodge Avenger Rt shown

On a Dodge Avenger, the tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below the placard pressure, while a flashing light that stays on indicates a tire-pressure monitoring system fault.

Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria in Peoria, AZ, provides tire pressure light diagnosis for Dodge Avenger sedan models across all model years. The visit helps distinguish a tire that needs air or repair from a sensor that needs attention, using pressure checks, sensor signal testing, leak inspection, and system relearn procedures.

What the tire pressure light means on a Dodge Avenger

The tire pressure warning is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When the light stays steadily illuminated, one or more tires are at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the placard inside the driver's door jamb. Tire pressure can drop about one psi for every ten degrees of temperature change, so the warning may appear after a cold night. An underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter, making it important to have the pressure checked and set at the next stop.

If the light remains on even though the tires appear fully inflated, the actual pressure and tire-pressure sensors still need to be checked. If the light flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays illuminated, the monitoring system has a fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down. A diagnostic visit separates a pressure concern from a sensor concern.

What the diagnosis covers at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria

The tire pressure light service begins with a pressure check of every monitored tire against the placard on the driver's door jamb. Each tire-pressure sensor is then scanned for its signal and battery status. The inspection also looks for punctures and leaking valve stems, which can explain why a warning remains illuminated even when a tire looks full.

After sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the monitoring system can recognize the serviced components. This process identifies whether a tire needs air, a repair, or a sensor replacement. Drivers can schedule service with Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria for a complete tire pressure and sensor check.

Frequently Asked Questions

5 common questions answered

What does the tire pressure light look like and mean on a Dodge Avenger?It looks like a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point and means one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below placard pressure.

The placard is located on the driver's door jamb. A steady warning calls for a pressure check at the next stop because an underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter.

Why is the tire pressure light on when the tires look full or after a cold night?The light can appear after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees, or it can remain on when a sensor or pressure concern needs testing.

Visual inspection does not confirm the pressure inside each tire or the condition of each sensor. A complete check compares every tire with the driver's door-jamb placard and scans every sensor.

What does a flashing tire pressure light mean?A light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on means the tire-pressure monitoring system has a fault.

The fault is usually a sensor whose battery has run down. Sensor signal and battery status testing helps separate a monitoring-system concern from a tire that needs air or repair.

Can a Dodge Avenger keep driving with the tire pressure light on?The pressure should be checked and set at the next stop when the tire pressure light is illuminated.
