Problem overview

Some Mercedes-Benz SL550 owners report experiencing persistent tire pressure dashboard warning lights after a front tire replacement, which may indicate issues such as a leaking tire, a wheel that fails to hold air, or a malfunctioning tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Additionally, sensor and wiring problems can contribute to the warning light remaining illuminated, necessitating troubleshooting of these components. While some owners have found that resetting the sensor system can temporarily resolve the issue, it is crucial to know how to reset the tire pressure light, particularly if it stays on despite proper tire inflation. Situations like tire rotations, replacing tires, or adjusting tire pressure may require a reset or relearning of the TPMS. Furthermore, if a specific tire's pressure is too low, a warning will appear, and driving for several minutes before restarting the TPMS may help. If the warning light remains red after addressing these factors, it is advisable to check tire pressures, inspect for leaks, and consult a professional technician for further assistance.
