Bentley Continental GT Tire Pressure Light

Bentley Continental GT Tire Pressure Light service at Bentley Boston in Wayland, MA

Frequently asked questions
2016 Bentley Continental GT shown

The tire pressure light on a Bentley Continental GT means one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver’s door-jamb placard, or that the tire pressure monitoring system has a fault. The symbol appears as a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. Bentley Boston in Wayland, MA, provides tire pressure light diagnosis for the Bentley Continental GT across all model years, including pressure checks, sensor signal and battery checks, puncture inspections, valve-stem inspections, and system relearning after tire or sensor work. Drivers can use the service visit to distinguish a tire needing air or repair from a sensor needing replacement.

What the tire pressure light means on a Bentley Continental GT

A steadily illuminated tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the placard pressure. 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 tires look fully inflated while the light remains on, a pressure check and sensor inspection can identify the reason. A light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays illuminated indicates a fault in the monitoring system, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down. That condition calls for diagnosis of the sensors rather than relying on the appearance of the tires alone.

What the diagnosis covers at Bentley Boston

Bentley Boston checks the pressure of every monitored tire against the placard on the driver’s door jamb. The service also scans each tire pressure sensor for its signal and battery status, then inspects for punctures and leaking valve stems. After any sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the vehicle can recognize the serviced components. This process separates a tire that needs air or repair from a sensor that needs replacing. Drivers experiencing a steady light, a light after a temperature drop, or a flashing light followed by steady illumination can schedule service at Bentley Boston in Wayland.

Frequently Asked Questions

5 common questions answered

What does the tire pressure light look like on a Bentley Continental GT?It is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside.

A steady light means one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the driver’s door-jamb placard pressure. The symbol can also remain illuminated after a flashing startup sequence when the monitoring system has a fault.

Why is the tire pressure light on when the tires look full?A pressure or sensor check is needed because the tires’ appearance does not confirm their measured pressure or sensor status.

Bentley Boston checks every monitored tire against the placard pressure and scans each sensor’s signal and battery status. The inspection also checks for punctures and leaking valve stems.

Why is the tire pressure light flashing?A light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on indicates a tire pressure monitoring system fault.

The service block identifies a sensor with a battery that has run down as the usual reason. Sensor signal and battery testing helps distinguish that fault from a tire needing air or repair.

Can the Bentley Continental GT be driven with the tire pressure light on?The pressure should be set at the next stop because an underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter.

A steady light indicates that one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below placard pressure. Bentley Boston can check the tire pressure, inspect for punctures and leaking valve stems, and evaluate the monitoring sensors.
