How to Reset a Tire Pressure Light: Strategies 

Once you’ve inflated your tires at the correct PSI, the tire pressure light should extinguish automatically. However, if the light persists, follow these steps:

Reset Your Tire Pressure Light

Drive at 50 mph or above:

• Reset the sensor by driving at or above 50 mph for 10 minutes.
• This action prompts the sensor to recalibrate during your next ignition.

Utilize the TPMS reset button:

• With the vehicle off, turn the key to the “On” position without starting the car.
• Hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it.
• Start the car and wait 20 minutes for the sensor to refresh.
• Locate the reset button beneath the steering wheel or consult your user’s manual if needed.

Inflate and deflate method:

• Inflate all tires, including the spare, to 3 PSI over the recommended amount.
• Deflate them entirely before reinflating them to the recommended tire pressure.

Battery disconnect:

• Turn off the vehicle and disconnect the positive battery cable using a wrench.
• Honk the horn for approximately three seconds.
• Reconnect the battery after turning the car on.
• This process discharges any residual power, aiding in a thorough reset.
