How to Reset Tesla Tire Pressure Warning?
3 Answers
Tesla tire pressure warning reset method is as follows: 1. Turn the ignition switch to the second gear to enter the total mileage/trip mileage interface on the instrument panel. 2. Press the "OK" button on the left side of the steering wheel, then press the right button to enter the "Maintenance" interface. 3. Press the down arrow button on the steering wheel to enter the "Tire Pressure" interface. 4. The instrument will prompt "Run-Flat Indicator Active", press the "OK" button on the steering wheel to confirm. 5. The instrument will prompt "Is Tire Pressure Normal?", use the down arrow button on the steering wheel to select "Yes" and press "OK" to confirm. 6. Complete the tire pressure reset operation. After turning off and restarting the vehicle, the tire pressure reset will be successful. Notes: 1. After replacing tires or rotating wheels, there is no need to reset the TPMS sensors. 2. Do not attempt to clear the tire pressure warning by resetting the TPMS sensors. When resetting tire pressure sensors: 1. Inflate all tires to their recommended pressure, as shown on the tire and loading information label on the passenger side door pillar. 2. Drive for ten minutes as preparation, then on the Model-S touchscreen, click Controls > Settings > Vehicle > Tire Pressure Monitoring > Reset Sensors. 3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
When driving my Tesla, I encountered a tire pressure warning issue, and resetting it is actually quite simple. First, ensure the vehicle is parked safely, then check if the actual tire pressure of all tires meets the recommended standards. Tesla recommends maintaining tire pressure between 32 to 45 psi (refer to the user manual for specifics). If the tire pressure is normal, access the touchscreen menu, click on the "Controls" icon, find the "Service" option, and then select "Reset TPMS." The system will self-calibrate, and the warning usually disappears within seconds. If the warning persists after resetting, it might indicate a sensor malfunction or a slow leak, in which case a visit to the service center is necessary. Remember, tire pressure fluctuates more frequently in winter. I check my tire pressure monthly to prevent warnings and avoid tire wear that could affect fuel efficiency and safe driving. Developing good tire pressure habits can make driving more reassuring.
The tire pressure warning is related to driving safety. When I see the warning, I immediately stop to check. Tesla's reset operation is very intuitive in the vehicle system: open the main screen, enter the "Controls" menu, select "Service," and then click "Reset Tire Pressure Warning." The prerequisite is that the tire pressure must be normal. If unsure, use the in-car tools or a mobile app to measure and confirm. After resetting, wait a while for the system to update the data. I also pay attention to seasonal fluctuations in tire pressure—releasing some air in summer and inflating more in winter can reduce false alarms. If the warning doesn't disappear, it might be due to sensor aging or wiring issues, requiring a professional technician to diagnose. Maintaining proper tire pressure is also crucial for extending tire lifespan.
