Dodge Viper Tire Pressure Light service at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria in Peoria, AZ

Frequently asked questions
2017 Dodge Viper SRT shown

On a Dodge Viper, the tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the placard pressure, or the monitoring system has a fault when the light flashes and stays lit.

Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria serves Dodge Viper drivers in Peoria, Arizona, with tire pressure light diagnosis for every model year. The service is designed to distinguish a tire that needs air or repair from a tire pressure sensor that needs attention. A pressure check, sensor signal review, battery-status scan, and inspection for leaks help clarify the warning before further tire or sensor work is performed. Drivers can arrange service at the dealership’s location at 8665 West Bell Road in Peoria.

What the tire pressure light means on a Dodge Viper

The tire pressure warning is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When it stays lit steadily, one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver’s door-jamb placard. That condition can occur after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees, and an underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter. The pressure should be set at the next stop. If the light flashes for about a minute at start-up and then remains lit, the tire pressure monitoring system has a fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down. A tire that looks full can still need measurement, while a flashing warning points toward system diagnosis.

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’s signal and battery status are scanned, separating a pressure concern from a monitoring-system fault. The tires are also inspected for punctures and leaking valve stems. After any sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the vehicle can recognize the serviced components. This process addresses a steady warning after pressure loss as well as a light that flashes and stays on. Drivers can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria for the complete tire pressure light check.
