Video tutorial

In this video, we will see where the crankshaft sensor is located on the Fiat Punto 1.2 8V. It is positioned on the pulley of the belt near the crankshaft and reads the number of revolutions that this pulley makes. Above it, we find the oil pressure sensor, which is attached to the filter.

This sensor is essential because it helps the ECU understand how many revolutions the engine is making (along with those of the camshaft). Therefore, if the sensor is not functioning, the ECU cannot determine what is happening inside the engine: it must always be kept clean and free from deposits.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

The tyre pressure warning light displayed on the instrument cluster of the Kia Rio can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker affixed to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
