Ram ProMaster Cargo Van Tire Pressure Light in Peoria, AZ

The tire pressure light on the Ram ProMaster Cargo Van is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point, and it means the vehicle needs a tire-pressure or tire-pressure-monitoring-system check. When the light stays on steadily, one or more tires are at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver's door-jamb placard. This can happen after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten-degree temperature change. A flashing light for about a minute at startup followed by a steady light indicates a monitoring-system fault, usually involving a sensor battery. Because an underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter, pressure should be set at the next stop. A complete diagnosis separates a tire needing air or repair from a sensor needing replacement.

Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria in Peoria, AZ, provides tire pressure light diagnosis for the Ram ProMaster Cargo Van and helps drivers arrange the appropriate service.

What the tire pressure light means on a Ram ProMaster Cargo Van

The warning symbol looks like a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. A steadily illuminated light means one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below the pressure printed on the driver's door-jamb placard. The tires may appear full even when their measured pressure is low, particularly after colder weather.

If the light flashes for about a minute when the vehicle starts and then remains illuminated, the tire pressure monitoring system has a fault. The service diagnosis checks whether the concern is low pressure, a puncture, a leaking valve stem, or a sensor signal or battery issue. Since an underinflated tire can wear faster and run hotter, the pressure should be set at the next stop and the warning should be evaluated.

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 also scanned. The inspection includes looking for punctures and leaking valve stems, which helps distinguish a tire losing air from a monitoring-system concern.

After sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the vehicle can recognize the sensor locations. This process separates a tire that needs air or repair from a sensor that may need replacement. Drivers can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria for a complete tire pressure and sensor check.

Recalls on the Ram ProMaster Cargo Van

NHTSA campaign 14V633000 applies to the 2014 Ram ProMaster Cargo Van. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System may fail to learn individual sensor locations while driving, allowing the low-pressure warning to illuminate even when tire pressures are within specification; if a tire loses air, the condition could be masked and increase the risk of tire failure and a crash. Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria checks open recalls by VIN and performs the recall remedy at no charge to the owner. The remedy is a software update to the TPMS module.
