Frequently asked questions
2010 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 Laramie shown

On a Dodge Ram Pickup 2500, the tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver's door-jamb placard, or the tire-pressure monitoring system has a fault. The symbol looks like a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria in Peoria, AZ, provides tire pressure light service to separate a tire needing air or repair from a sensor needing attention. The inspection checks every monitored tire, reviews each sensor's signal and battery status, and examines punctures and leaking valve stems. After tire or sensor work, the system can be relearned so the warning accurately reflects the vehicle's condition.

Drivers searching for tire pressure light service can contact Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria at 8665 West Bell Road in Peoria, Arizona, for a focused diagnostic visit.

What the tire pressure light means on a Dodge Ram Pickup 2500

A steadily illuminated tire pressure light shows the horseshoe-shaped tire outline and exclamation point and means one or more tires is at least 25 percent below the placard pressure. Tire pressure can drop after a cold night because pressure falls about one psi for every ten degrees, so the pressure should be set at the next stop. An underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter. If the light flashes for about a minute at startup and then remains illuminated, the tire-pressure monitoring system itself has a fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down. A light that stays on even though the tires look fully inflated can also require sensor and tire-pressure testing to identify whether the issue is inflation, a leak, or the monitoring system.

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

The tire pressure light inspection begins with a pressure check of every monitored tire against the placard on the driver's door jamb. Each tire-pressure sensor is scanned for its signal and battery status. The inspection also looks for punctures and leaking valve stems, which helps distinguish a tire that needs air or repair from a sensor that needs replacing. When sensor or tire work has been completed, the system is relearned so the warning system can recognize the serviced components. Drivers experiencing a steady or flashing warning can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria.

Frequently Asked Questions

5 common questions answered

What does the tire pressure light look like and mean on a Dodge Ram Pickup 2500?It looks like a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point and means a tire is significantly under the placard pressure or the monitoring system has a fault.

A steady light means one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the driver's door-jamb placard pressure. A flashing light at startup that stays on indicates a monitoring-system fault, usually involving a sensor battery.

Why is the tire pressure light on when the tires look full?The light can remain on when a sensor has a signal or battery problem even though the tires appear fully inflated.

Visual inspection does not confirm the pressure against the placard or verify each sensor's signal and battery status. A tire-pressure service visit checks both the tires and the monitoring system.

Why does the tire pressure light come on after a cold night?Cold temperatures can lower tire pressure, with pressure dropping about one psi for every ten degrees.

The light may illuminate when the pressure reaches at least 25 percent below the placard pressure. The pressure should be set at the next stop, and the tires can be checked for punctures or leaking valve stems.

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

The fault is usually associated with a sensor whose battery has run down. Scanning every sensor separates a monitoring-system issue from a tire that needs air or repair.
