How do I reset tyre pressure sensors?

Resetting sensors in the TPMS

How TPMS resets are done depends on the manufacturer. Below are the general methods.

General methods

• Drive for 10 to 15 minutes at 30 mph or higher. In some cases, TPMS will reset automatically if all the tyres are adjusted to the manufacturer recommended pressure.
• Find a reset button. Some models have an actual reset button on the dashboard that can be accessed from under the steering column or through the vehicle settings.
• Deflate all tyres and then reinflate them to specification. This may trigger the sensor to recalibrate.

Your vehicle manual

Your vehicle make and model will determine the exact procedure. Look for instructions in your owner's manual.

If the warning light stays on

If the warning light remains on after you have adjusted all the tyres to the manufacturer recommended pressure and done the resets, the problem could be with a defective sensor, dead battery in the sensor or the sensors that were damaged during the tyre change. In this case, the only option is to have the system diagnosed in a garage.
