Frequently asked questions
2014 Ram C/V Tradesman shown

On the Ram C/V Tradesman, the tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver’s door-jamb placard, or that 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 checked and set at the next stop. A light that flashes for about a minute at start-up and then stays illuminated indicates a monitoring-system fault, usually involving a sensor battery. Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria provides tire-pressure-light diagnosis for drivers seeking a clear distinction between a tire that needs air or repair and a sensor that needs attention.

Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria in Peoria helps Ram C/V Tradesman drivers respond to this warning with a complete pressure and sensor check.

What the tire pressure light means on a Ram C/V Tradesman

The tire pressure warning appears as a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When it stays steadily lit, one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below the placard pressure on the driver’s door jamb. This can happen after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. An underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter, so the pressure should be set at the next stop.

If the tires look fully inflated but the light remains on, the system still needs to be checked against the placard pressure and its sensor signals examined. A flashing light at start-up for about a minute, followed by a steady light, means the monitoring system itself has a fault, usually because a sensor battery has run down.

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

The diagnosis checks the pressure of every monitored tire against the placard on the driver’s door jamb. Each tire-pressure sensor is also 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 includes looking for punctures and leaking valve stems. After sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the vehicle can recognize the serviced components. Drivers noticing a steady warning after a temperature change, a light that stays on despite tires appearing full, or a flashing start-up warning can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria.
