Tyre inflator warning light won't go off Hyundai Tucson

    Hi
    My warning light came on to say I had low pressure in one of my tyres.
    I put it back up to 34psi but next morning it was down to 12psi.
    I got the puncture fixed today but warning light still on even though it reads all tyres have 34psi.
    Do I have to reset it or I thought the light would go off when proper pressure is back in it?
    I've driven about 20 miles since I got puncture fixed.
    Cheers

    Over inflate by 5psi, then take the car for a drive.

    The Hyundai sensors are the most tempermental i've seen.

    Tyre fitter might have broke it, regular occurance with the sensors on Lexus cars.

    I inflated each tyre by an extra 2 psi each so all reading 36psi and the warning light went off immediately after driving.
    Cheers for the advice.

    And Hyundai!

    Not sure if the newer hyundais have TPMS sensors on the valves anymore or if they use the speed sensor.

    Doesn't the Tusk'n'Curdy come with a 12 year warranty? Let someone in the main dealer deal with it. You're paying enough for that PCP

    Probably isn't covered, like most things in that so called warranty...

    Hyundais 5 year warranty is actually very comprehensive.

    I don't ever recall tyre pressure maintenance being a warrantable item however.

    Along with dmf,clutch, egr valve, dpf in fact all the things that give trouble on modern diesels. Add in the crazy servicing prices plus the crazy ( not covered by warranty) parts prices and you have one expensive machine when something goes wrong. If ever a vehicle was made for change it in 3 years pcp the Tucson is it.

    You'd have no bother claiming for a DMF or EGR tbh, you'd get one no hassle at all.

    No maunfacturer covers clutch kits, it's hardly a Hyundai exclusive.

    The service prices are on a similar keel to other manufacturers, when you bare in mind they do a standard 30k 24mt interval.

    I have no particular love for Hyundais but the range and service isn't have as flakey as you are making out.

    Friend of mine had a dmf fail at just over 4 years old, absolutely no chance of it being replaced under warranty. Service history was spot on with a main dealer but no way would they budge on the flywheel. He flogged it on and bought a proper vehicle more suited to his needs, towing etc.
