How to Reset Low Tire Pressure Light (TPMS)
ChannelChrisFixIn brief
You’ll learn how to reset your car’s low tire pressure warning light by checking the correct tire pressure (from the door sticker), locating and inflating the underpressurized tire, and inspecting all tires—especially useful if temperature changes triggered the alert. ChrisFix also explains when the light flashing signals weak sensor batteries, which require professional replacement.
Key steps
- Check the door sill sticker for the correct tire pressure for your vehicle.
- Locate the tire with low pressure using the TPMS warning.
- Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure using an air pump.
- Inspect all tires for proper pressure, including the spare.
- Drive the car for 10–15 minutes to reset the TPMS system.
Questions & answers
Why does temperature affect tire pressure?
For every 10°F drop in temperature, tire pressure decreases by about 1 psi. Fall’s temperature swings can trigger the TPMS light if pressure drops below the set threshold.
How long do TPMS sensor batteries last?
The creator says they typically last 5–7 years or around 100,000 miles.
Description from the creator
If the low tire pressure light is flashing, this is usually due to low batteries. The batteries should last from 5-7 years or around 100,000 miles. Unfortunately the only way to replace these batteries is to take the tire off the rim.
In 2005 the US Government told the car companies to get ready to have all their cars include a standard TPMS and in 2007 it was required for every new car to have TPMS.
