- Find the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) reset button, usually located beneath the steering wheel or on the lower dashboard.
Press and Hold the TPMS Reset Button
- With the vehicle in the "On" position, press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release the button.
Drive the Vehicle
- Drive the vehicle for at least 10 minutes at speeds over 30 mph to allow the system to recalibrate and check if the light turns off.
