Ram 1500 Tire Pressure Light in Peoria, AZ

On a Ram 1500, 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 is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. A steady light calls for the tire pressure to be set at the next stop, while a light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays illuminated points to a system fault. Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria in Peoria, AZ, helps drivers identify whether the concern involves tire pressure, a puncture, a leaking valve stem, or a tire pressure sensor. Booking the diagnostic service provides a clear next step when the warning appears.

What the tire pressure light means on a Ram 1500

The tire pressure warning is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When it stays steadily illuminated, one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the pressure printed on the driver’s door-jamb placard. This can happen after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. The light may remain on even when the tires appear fully inflated, so a pressure check is important. A tire that is underinflated wears faster and runs hotter; the pressure should be set at the next stop. If the light flashes for about a minute after startup and then remains on, the tire pressure monitoring system has a fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down.

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

The tire pressure light service checks every monitored tire against the pressure on the driver’s door-jamb placard. Each tire pressure sensor’s signal and battery status are scanned to distinguish a tire-pressure concern from a monitoring-system fault. The inspection also looks for punctures and leaking valve stems. After sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the Ram 1500 can recognize the sensor signals correctly. This process separates a tire that needs air or a repair from a sensor that needs replacing. Drivers can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria for a focused diagnosis.
