Kia Ceed Tire Pressure Sensors
Content
Driving with low tire pressure results in poor driving performance, increased fuel consumption and reduced vehicle safety. Therefore, the design of Kia Ceed has a special sensor that constantly measures the level of tire inflation.
When the tire pressure deviates from the norm, a signal lights up on the dashboard. The driver has the ability to timely detect damage to a wheel or a decrease in the volume of injected air below an acceptable level.
Installing the tire pressure sensor
Installing tire pressure sensors on a Kia Sid car is carried out according to the step-by-step instructions below.
- Secure the machine to prevent it from moving freely.
- Raise the side of the vehicle where the tire pressure sensor will be installed.
- Remove the wheel from the vehicle.
- Remove the wheel.
- Remove the tire from the rim. As a result, access to the pressure sensor will open.
- Unscrew the pressure sensor bracket and remove it.
- Proceed with mounting the sensor. Note that O-rings and washers are subject to wear. They need a replacement. Therefore, before replacing the tire pressure sensor, you must first purchase an aluminum washer with catalog number 529392L000 worth 380 rubles and an o-ring with article number 529382L000 at a price of about 250 rubles.
- Get a new sensor.
- Insert the sensor into the mounting hole and secure it.
- Put the tire on the rim.
- Inflate the wheel.
- Check for air leaks through the sensor. If present, tighten fasteners without overtightening.
- Install the wheel to the vehicle.
- Using the pump, inflate the wheel, checking the pressure on the pressure gauge.
- Drive a few kilometers at medium speed to start the correct operation of the tire pressure sensors.
Pressure sensor test
If a TPMS error appears on the dashboard, the wheels should be inspected. If there is no damage, use a diagnostic scanner to identify the problem.
To make sure that the sensors are working normally, you need to partially bleed the air from the wheel. After a short time, information about the pressure drop should appear on the on-board computer screen. If this does not happen, then the problem is with the sensors.
Cost and number for tire pressure sensors for Kia Ceed
Kia Sid cars use original sensors with the article number 52940 J7000. Its price ranges from 1800 to 2500 rubles. In retail, there are analogues of branded sensors. The best third-party brand alternatives are presented in the table below.

Required actions if the tire pressure sensor lights up
If the tire pressure deviation indicator light comes on, this is not always a sign of a problem. During operation of the machine, false alarms of the system may occur. Despite this, it is forbidden to ignore the signal. The first step is to inspect the wheels for damage.
If there is no visible damage to the tires and wheels, check the pressure. It is recommended to use a manometer for this. If a discrepancy is found with the recommended value, it is necessary to normalize the pressure.
If the indicator continues to burn at normal pressure, you need to drive at an average speed of 10-15 km. If the warning light does not go out, the errors must be read from the on-board computer.
