Kia Telluride Hybrid Tire Pressure Light in Tampa, FL

On a Kia Telluride Hybrid, the tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the placard inside the driver's door, 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 tire pressure attention at the next stop, while a light that flashes at start-up for about a minute and then stays illuminated points to a monitoring-system fault. Tire pressure can drop after a cold night, and an underinflated tire can wear faster and run hotter.

Courtesy Kia of Brandon in Tampa, FL, helps Kia Telluride Hybrid drivers identify whether the warning involves tire pressure, a puncture or leaking valve stem, or a tire pressure sensor. Service is available at 9205 E. Adamo Drive.

What the tire pressure light means on a Kia Telluride Hybrid

The warning appears as a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point in the center. When it stays steadily illuminated, one or more monitored tires is 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. Even when a tire looks full, its measured pressure may still need to be checked.

If the light flashes for about a minute at start-up and then remains on, the tire pressure monitoring system has a fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down. A tire that needs air or attention should be addressed at the next stop because underinflation increases heat and wear.

What the diagnosis covers at Courtesy Kia of Brandon

The service visit includes 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 tire or sensor work, the system is relearned so the vehicle can recognize the sensors correctly. Drivers can schedule service at Courtesy Kia of Brandon for a complete tire pressure light diagnosis.
