Honda HR-V Tire Pressure Light

Honda HR-V Tire Pressure Light service at David McDavid Honda of Frisco in Frisco, TX

The tire pressure light on a Honda HR-V means one or more monitored tires may be at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver's door-jamb placard, or the tire-pressure monitoring system may have a fault. The symbol looks like a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. A steady light calls for tire pressure to be checked and set at the next stop, while a light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on points to a monitoring-system fault. David McDavid Honda of Frisco in Frisco, TX, checks the tires, sensors, valve stems, and system operation for Honda HR-V drivers seeking a clear diagnosis.

David McDavid Honda of Frisco is located at 1601 N. Dallas Parkway, Frisco, TX 75034.

What the tire pressure light means on a Honda HR-V

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 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. A tire may look fully inflated while still needing a pressure check. When the light flashes for about a minute at startup and then remains on, the tire-pressure monitoring system itself has a fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down. Underinflation causes a tire to wear faster and run hotter, so pressure should be set at the next stop.

What the diagnosis covers at David McDavid Honda of Frisco

A Tire Pressure Light service at David McDavid Honda of Frisco begins with a pressure check of every monitored tire against 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 monitoring equipment can recognize the serviced components. This process separates a tire that needs air or a repair from a sensor that needs replacing. Drivers can schedule service at David McDavid Honda of Frisco.
