How to Reset Tire Pressure Light

Tire Pressure Warning Light_216248072

 

If you’ve just inflated your tires and the tire pressure light is still on, you might have to reset it. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is essential to ensuring your Nissan vehicle operates safely on Leominster roads. Use the guide below to quickly reset a tire pressure light, or bring your car to our service center where our service technicians can easily reset the light for you. 

Resetting Your Tire Pressure Light

After you’ve inflated your tires, the tire pressure light should turn off automatically. If it doesn’t go off on its own, you can take one of the following steps to reset the light: 

  • Drive at or above 50 mph for about 10 minutes to reset the sensor. Doing this can trigger the sensor to reset the next time you turn on the car. 
  • Make sure the vehicle is off. Turn the key to the “on” position, but don’t start the engine. Press and hold the TPMS button until you see a flashing tire pressure light. (You can usually find the TPMS reset button under the steering wheel.) Let it flash three times, then release the button. Then, start the car and wait about 20 minutes for the sensor to recalibrate. 
  • First, inflate the tires to 3 PSI over the recommended amount. Then, deflate the tires fully. Do the spare tire as well; spare tires often have sensors, too. After they’re all deflated, reinflate them to the correct PSI. 
  • Make sure the vehicle is off. Disconnect the positive battery cable with a wrench. Turn the car on and honk the horn for about three seconds. Any power still stored in the vehicle should be used up after taking this step. Then, reconnect the positive battery cable. The TPMS light should be reset. 

What Does a Flashing Tire Pressure Light Mean?

Tire pressure sensors typically use a battery. A flashing tire pressure light (as opposed to a continuously illuminated TPMS light) can often be an indicator that the battery needs to be replaced. It could also point to an issue with a sensor. In any case, schedule a service appointment at Ron Bouchard Nissan. Our Nissan-certified technicians will diagnose and repair the problem in no time!
