Locate the TPMS Reset Button:
- The TPMS reset button is typically located beneath the steering column or on the lower dashboard. Consult the owner’s manual for the exact location.
Press and Hold the Reset Button:
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it. This indicates that the system is resetting.
Start the Engine:
- Start the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes. The TPMS light should turn off if the system has been reset successfully.
Check Tire Pressure:
- After resetting, verify that each tire is still at the correct pressure. If the light remains illuminated, repeat the reset procedure.
