Get the pressure sensors checked. Does it show you which tyre? If so you could swop it with 1 from a tyre which doesn't show a fault and see if the issue moves with it. If it doesn't move, then is coud be a cabling issue, caught white, short or similar.
On an '02 the tire pressure light is under the parking brake lever or on the side of the parking brake cover. You will have to reset your tire light to make it turn off. Press and hold button for five seconds with the key in the on position but engine not started. Then start car and drive for a couple miles by which the light will go out. If the light does not go out you might have a problem with the sensor that sends information to the tire pressure module.
hi. if the fluid level is ok, then there is probably not a leak in the system. check the tyre pressures are correct as underinflated tyres can make the steering heavy, as well as increasing tyre wear. if the tyre pressures and fluid levels are ok then check the belt driving the power steering pump is ok. other problems include a bad power steering pump. a faulty rack, or siezed joints on the struts.
This is probably the run flat tyre sensor telling you that one of the tyres is down. Check the pressure on all 4 tyres, and get them all to the proper pressure. The button under the handbrake is a reset button for the run flat tyre sensor. With the engine off, hold the button in and keep it held in, start the car up, keep the button in until the light goes off. If it doesnt go off, just wait 10 or 15 seconds, then let go of the button. The warning light should go out. If this happens again, check your tyres again as you may have a puncture that you don't know about.
This is the tyre pressure indicator. It shows that one of the tyres is losing pressure through a calve leak or puncture, or can also be triggered after you get new tyres or rotate the tyres.
The method to re-set the tyre pressure warning light is as follows:
Turn the ignition to position 2 (ignition on but motor not started). Press and hold the button under the handbrake until the warning light on the dashboard comes on for several seconds. Start the engine. Drive the car normally for several minutes. This will cause the system to re-set to the current tyres and pressures you have. It will then only turn the warning light on if the pressures change - for example if you get a puncture.
