Hyundai Santa Fe: Reset TPMS

All models of cars and light trucks newer than 2008 are required to be equipped with a tire pressure sensor system. There are two types of tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS): direct and indirect. Each system monitors the pressure within each tire to alert the driver when the pressure is below the recommended inflation pressure.

After changing the tires on your vehicle, the TPMS needs to be electronically reset to clear the error code. To do this for your Hyundai Santa Fe, follow the steps below.
