Frequently asked questions
2014 Dodge SRT Viper shown

The tire pressure light on the Dodge SRT Viper means one or more monitored tires may be at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver’s door-jamb placard, or the tire-pressure monitoring system may have a fault.

For drivers in Peoria, Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria provides tire-pressure-light diagnosis for the Dodge SRT Viper. The visit checks tire inflation, verifies each sensor’s signal and battery status, and looks for leaks or punctures so the warning can be connected to the correct next step.

What the tire pressure light means on a Dodge SRT Viper

The warning appears as 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 placard pressure. This can happen after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. A tire that looks full can still require a pressure check against the placard. If the light flashes for about a minute at start-up and then remains on, the monitoring system itself has a fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down. Underinflation can make a tire wear faster and run hotter, so the pressure should be set at the next stop.

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

The diagnosis 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, helping separate a tire that needs air or a repair from a sensor that needs replacing. The inspection also looks for punctures and leaking valve stems. After any sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the vehicle can recognize the serviced components. Drivers can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria for a complete tire-pressure-light check.
