Bentley Continental GTC Tire Pressure Light

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

Frequently asked questions
2013 Bentley Continental GTC shown

On a Bentley Continental GTC, the tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires are 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. A steady light calls for the tire pressure to be set at the next stop, while a light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then remains on points to a monitoring-system fault. Bentley Boston helps drivers understand the warning on this convertible and separates a tire-pressure issue from a sensor concern through a focused inspection.

Bentley Boston in Wayland, MA, provides tire pressure light diagnosis for Bentley Continental GTC vehicles across all model years.

What the tire pressure light means on a Bentley Continental GTC

The tire pressure warning is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When it stays steadily illuminated, one or more tires are at least 25 percent below the pressure printed on the driver's door-jamb placard. This can happen after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. A tire can also look fully inflated while the warning remains illuminated, making a measured pressure check important.

If the light flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on, the monitoring system itself has a fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down. Underinflation can make a tire wear faster and run hotter, so the pressure should be set at the next stop.

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 inspection also includes a scan of each tire-pressure sensor's signal and battery status. Each tire is examined for punctures and leaking valve stems, helping distinguish a tire that needs air or repair from a sensor that needs replacement.

After any sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the monitoring system can properly recognize the serviced components. This process addresses a steady warning as well as a flashing warning that remains on. Drivers can schedule service at Bentley Boston for a complete tire and sensor check.
