Hi all,

My grandland came up with an amber (!) warning symbol in my dash yesterday whilst driving, which appeared to be my tyre pressure monitoring system highlighting an issue with pressure in one or more of my tyres.

I later found a nail in one tyre, which I promptly got the tyre completely replaced (as unrepairable).

The warning symbol, with chime every time I start the vehicle, still occurs - this is after replacing the tyre and checking & pumping up all tyres to required pressure.

Following guidance online it seems as though you can hold the button in the car to reset this, however it does nothing? Is anyone able to guide me on what i'm missing here? Or has anyone experienced this also?

Thank you as always for any assistance!

Hi,

check owner manuals for your car...for 2020 GLX page is from 231 to 235.

After tyre pressure correction or
wheel change, the system must be
initialised to learn new circumference
reference values:
1. Always ensure that all four tyres
have correct tyre pressure
3 267.
2. Apply parking brake.
3. Press w to reset deflation
detection system.
4. Reset is confirmed by pop-up
indication.

After initialisation system
automatically calibrates to new tyre
pressures during driving. After longer
drive the system will adopt and
monitor new pressures.
Always check tyre pressure with cold
tyres.
System has to be reinitialised when:
● Tyre pressure has been changed
● Load condition has been
changed
● Wheels have been swapped or
exchanged
The system will not warn
instantaneously on a tyre blow out or
a rapid deflation. This is due to
required calculation time.

Thanks for the detailed advice. I have messaged about missing out on visual tyre info recently and your message is appreciated.

Did you find an answer yourself Cargo42?

I have to hold another button, the lane departure warning button, to reset it. It’s like it’s all been wired backwards!

Thanks.
