The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in your vehicle may reset on its own, but this depends on the make and model of your vehicle. TPMS is designed to monitor tire pressure and alert you if the air pressure drops below safe levels. After addressing the issue, such as inflating the tires or replacing a sensor, some systems recalibrate automatically. For vehicles with automatic TPMS reset capabilities, the system usually recalibrates after driving at a steady speed for 10 to 20 minutes. This allows the sensors to detect and confirm that the pressure in all tires is back to normal.
However, not all TPMS systems are self-resetting. In many vehicles, you may need to manually reset the TPMS using a reset button or specialized system. The reset button is typically located under the steering wheel, near the dashboard, or in the glove compartment. After pressing and holding the button, drive for a short distance to complete the calibration. If the TPMS light remains on even after correcting the tire pressure and attempting a reset, there may be a deeper issue, such as a damaged sensor or low battery in the TPMS unit.
