TPMS Reset Procedures by Make

How to reset the tire pressure monitoring system light after a tire rotation, pressure adjustment, or sensor replacement. Always set tires to the correct pressure before resetting.

Toyota

  1. Set all tires to the pressure listed on the driver door jamb sticker.
  2. Turn ignition to ON (do not start the engine).
  3. Press and hold the TPMS reset button (under the steering column, left side) until the TPMS light blinks 3 times.
  4. Release the button and start the engine.
  5. Drive for 25+ minutes at 25+ mph. The light will turn off when the system relearns.

Note: On 2019+ models with push-button start, the reset button may be in the glovebox or on the touchscreen under Settings > Vehicle > TPMS.

Honda

  1. Set all tires to correct pressure.
  2. Turn ignition to ON (engine off).
  3. Press the MENU button on the steering wheel.
  4. Navigate to Vehicle Settings > TPMS Calibration.
  5. Select Calibrate and press the select button.
  6. Drive for 30 minutes at highway speed. The system will recalibrate automatically.

Note: Honda uses indirect TPMS (wheel speed sensors). There are no individual tire sensors to relearn. If the light stays on, check for a slow leak.

Ford

  1. Set all tires to correct pressure.
  2. Turn ignition to ON (engine off).
  3. Press and hold the hazard button until the horn sounds twice (about 6 seconds).
  4. Starting with the driver front tire, deflate each tire until the horn sounds, then inflate to the correct pressure.
  5. Repeat for passenger front, passenger rear, driver rear (clockwise pattern).
  6. After all four tires are done, the horn sounds twice to confirm relearn is complete.

Note: On 2020+ Ford trucks with the touchscreen, go to Settings > Vehicle > Tire Monitor System > Retrain Tires. A TPMS tool can also trigger each sensor without deflating.

Chevy / GM

  1. Set all tires to correct pressure.
  2. Turn ignition to ON (engine off).
  3. Press the DIC (Driver Information Center) menu button until "Tire Learning" or "TPMS" appears.
  4. Press and hold the checkmark or SET button until the horn sounds twice.
  5. Starting at the driver front, hold the TPMS relearn tool against each valve stem until the horn chirps (about 5 seconds per tire).
  6. Move clockwise: passenger front, passenger rear, driver rear.

Note: GM vehicles require a TPMS relearn tool for most models. Deflation method does not work on GM. A relearn tool costs $20-40.

Nissan

  1. Set all tires to correct pressure.
  2. Turn ignition to ON (engine off).
  3. Press the TPMS warning reset button (below and to the left of the steering wheel) until the TPMS light blinks 3 times.
  4. Start the engine and drive for 20+ minutes.
  5. The light will turn off once the system confirms all pressures are correct.

Note: If no reset button exists, go to Settings > Vehicle > Tire Pressure on the infotainment screen.

Hyundai / Kia

  1. Set all tires to correct pressure.
  2. Turn ignition to ON (engine off).
  3. Press and hold the TPMS reset button (usually left of the steering wheel, near the knee bolster) for about 3 seconds until the light blinks 3 times.
  4. Start the engine and drive for 20 minutes at 25+ mph.

Note: Some 2021+ models reset from the infotainment screen: Settings > Vehicle > Tire Pressure > Reset. If the light stays on, one or more sensors may have a dead battery.

Subaru

  1. Set all tires to correct pressure.
  2. Turn ignition to ON (engine off).
  3. Press and hold the TPMS button on the dashboard (near the instrument cluster) until the light blinks.
  4. The system will auto-relearn while driving. Drive 20+ minutes at 25+ mph.

Note: Pre-2016 Subaru models may not have a reset button. Just set pressures correctly and drive -- the light clears on its own in 15-30 minutes.

BMW

  1. Set all tires to correct pressure (check the sticker inside the driver door).
  2. Start the engine.
  3. Go to iDrive menu > Vehicle Info > Vehicle Status > Tire Pressure Monitor.
  4. Select "Reset" and confirm.
  5. Drive for 15+ minutes. The system relearns automatically.

Note: BMW uses indirect TPMS on most models. There are no individual sensors to replace -- the system uses wheel speed differences to detect low pressure. If TPMS stays on, check for a slow leak or mismatched tire sizes.

Volkswagen

  1. Set all tires to correct pressure.
  2. Start the engine.
  3. On the infotainment screen, go to Car > Settings > Tires > Tire Pressure Monitoring.
  4. Select "Store" or "SET" to accept current pressures as the baseline.
  5. Drive for 10+ minutes. The warning will clear once recalibrated.

Note: VW also uses indirect TPMS. If you swapped to different-sized wheels or tires, the system may throw a persistent warning until you store the new baseline.

Jeep

  1. Set all tires to correct pressure (including the spare on Wranglers).
  2. Turn ignition to ON (engine off).
  3. Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the light blinks for about 5 seconds.
  4. Release and start the engine.
  5. Drive for 20+ minutes at 25+ mph.

Note: On Wrangler/Gladiator, the TPMS system monitors the spare tire too. If you remove the spare or install a different wheel, you may need a TPMS relearn tool to register the new sensor ID.
