Over a vehicle’s lifetime, one of the tires may lose some air. Losing air will change the tire pressure and trigger the TPMS or tire pressure monitoring system. Once you have corrected the issue, you want the light to go off. Here is how to reset the TPMS.
Contents
2005 – 2022 Models
- When the TPMS is triggered, use a Tire Pressure Gauge to see which one is low.
- Inflate the low tire to the recommended COLD tire pressure on the Tire and Loading Information label.
- The TPMS will not reset after inflating the tire. You must drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h).
- The TPMS will reset since the tire is at the correct pressure.
2005-2022 Models with TPMS Tool
- Make sure all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure. If one is not, inflate it to the correct pressure.
- Select the make, model, and year of a vehicle with OBDII support on the TPMS Tool.
- Select OBDII in the TPMS Tool’s menu.
- Scan each sensor near the stem on the tire in the following order: left front, right front, right rear, and left rear. If you have a full-size spare tire, scan it last.
- After scanning each tire, use the down or up arrow buttons to move the cursor on the machine until it is under the letters OBD.
- Press the enter button.
- Turn the ignition to ON but do not start the car. Note the ON position is different from ACC.
- Connect the OBDII Connecter to the TPMS tool and the car’s OBDII port. You should see a green light on the OBDII module.
- Select Upload Car IDs on the TPMS Tool’s menu.
- The IDs have successfully uploaded when the words “Relearn Complete/IDs Uploaded to Car” are displayed on the tool.
- Leave the ignition in the ON position. Scan each tire sensor again in the same order as before.
- Once you have done all that, drive the car for about 10 minutes above 30mph. Make sure the tire pressure light does not blink while you are driving.
