Kia Sorento Tire Pressure Light in Tampa, FL

On every model year of the Kia Sorento, a steady tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below the pressure on the driver’s door-jamb placard, while a flashing light that remains on indicates a tire pressure monitoring system fault. The symbol is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. Courtesy Kia of Brandon in Tampa, FL, helps Sorento drivers distinguish between a tire needing air or repair and a sensor needing attention by checking every tire, sensor signal, and sensor battery status. This SUV service also includes an inspection for punctures and leaking valve stems, followed by system relearning after tire or sensor work.

What the tire pressure light means on a Kia Sorento

The tire pressure light looks like a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When it stays steadily illuminated, 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 light remains on even though the tires look fully inflated, the system should be checked rather than judged by appearance. If the light flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on, the monitoring system has a fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down.

What the diagnosis covers at Courtesy Kia of Brandon

The tire pressure light service 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 monitoring system can recognize the serviced components. To have the warning evaluated, schedule service with Courtesy Kia of Brandon.
