BYD SEAL low tyre pressure warning but gauge looks normal
A warning that disagrees with your first gauge reading is still unresolved. Check the measured value, units and warning type before deciding the sensor needs a reset.
Applies to the official SEAL 2026, English RHD, 20260115 handbook. Chinese domestic SEAL EV (海豹) reports supplied the question; they do not verify an export-car defect, shared firmware or a repair. Match your car's handbook before using a control.
Stop safely, measure all tyres cold against the driver-door label and note the exact dashboard message. A flashing-then-steady warning with “No Signal” or “Please check TPMS” needs a different assessment from low pressure.
China-market owner report
In a discussion dated 2023-10-07, the linked China-market report raised this issue: A SEAL owner asked about a low-pressure warning despite believing the measured pressure was normal. Generic replies are not verified procedures. This is an individual account, not a confirmed diagnosis or failure-rate finding. The steps below use the export handbook.

Check the result and know when to stop
An owner saying a gauge is normal does not verify its accuracy, the tyre temperature or the target they used. The forum replies suggest generic resets and sensor repairs; this guide deliberately follows the export manual’s fault distinction and does not prescribe an undocumented reset menu.
Common questions
Is every illuminated tyre symbol caused by low pressure?+
No. The handbook also describes temperature and system faults. Read the accompanying message.
Can I ignore it if the tyres look inflated?+
No. Appearance cannot replace pressure measurement and condition checks.

Operating steps are checked against manufacturer documentation; Chinese owner discussions are labelled as anecdotal reports. They identify questions, not the prevalence or cause of a fault. Reviewed on 27 October 2026. This is a source-based guide, not a claim of hands-on vehicle testing.
