Which Button is Used for Tire Pressure Reset?
2 Answers
Tire pressure reset is performed using the tire pressure reset button located on the left-hand control stalk of the steering wheel. Tire pressure reset is an operation to reset the tire pressure monitoring system after addressing any tire pressure faults. Tire Pressure Reset Method: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the completion of the tire pressure reset. Generally, there are three main reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal Tire Pressure: The system typically alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or exceeds 3.0 bar. In such cases, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. Failure to Reset Tire Pressure: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset is not performed promptly, the system may still record the old data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. A simple tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged Tire Pressure Sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, such as by hitting a curb, it can also trigger the tire pressure warning light. In case of sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.
After I got new tires installed recently, the TPMS light kept coming on. It took me a while to figure out where the reset button was—the location varies by vehicle, but it's usually on the lower left side of the steering wheel or near the instrument panel. Start the engine, then look for a button labeled "TPMS Reset" or with a similar icon, hold it down for a few seconds until the warning light goes off, and you're good to go. The key is to make sure the tire pressure is properly adjusted before resetting, or the light will just come back on. Incorrect tire pressure not only makes driving uncomfortable but also increases the risk of a blowout or higher fuel consumption. That’s why I use a simple tire gauge to check all four tires monthly, keeping them within the manufacturer’s recommended range—saving money and staying safe at the same time. Some models even allow you to reset it through the onboard menu. If you run into trouble, check the manual or ask a professional at the dealership—don’t skip it, because safety comes first. In short, it’s an easy fix with just a little effort.
