Your car’s TPMS needs to be electronically reset after you replace the tires in order to erase the error message. Hold the TPMS reset button down until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then let go of the button to complete the process. Your car should be started, and the sensor will refresh after 20 minutes.

Will my TPMS light automatically turn off if I fill my tires with air after it illuminates?
Several minutes after reinflating the tires to the prescribed pressure, the TPMS light ought to go out.
What happens if I adjust the tire pressure but the light on my tire pressure gauge still doesn’t go out?
The only place that can fix a computer issue that causes the TPMS warning light to turn ON and flash ON for one second and OFF for three seconds is the dealership service center. When the TPMS warning light illuminates and remains on, one or more tires may have low tire pressure. The light ought to go out once the tire is inflated to the recommended tire pressure listed on the door placard. Always check the pressure in all of your tires because one or more of them may not be at the proper pressure.
In what location is the TPMS sensor?
In the US, direct TPMS usage is more prevalent. The sensors are either housed in the tire pressure valve, which also serves as an antenna, or they are band-clamped to the wheel rim. These gadgets deliver the data to an on-board computer.
How soon does the tire pressure warning light turn on?
After a few kilometers of driving, the light may turn off if the tires are adequately inflated. After around 10 miles, if the light still remains on, it may be necessary to reset the TPMS as instructed in the owner’s handbook of the car.
Is 28 the proper tire pressure?
Make sure you are aware of the precise psi needed in each set of tires on your fleet before adding more air. The owner’s manual, the placard inside the driver-side door, or the tire itself all include this information.
Is 28 psi too low for tires?
Yes, 28 psi is too low for tire pressure; the majority of passenger automobile tires require 32 psi to 35 psi. Ensure that each tire is inflated to the appropriate pressure before firmly reinstalling the stem caps.
Can I drive for how long with the tire pressure light on?
Low tire pressure warnings shouldn’t be used while driving for extremely long or very far. If you must, take into account how the allowed distance fluctuates under the various circumstances listed below.
Offroad
If you must, don’t drive off-road with low tire pressure for more than 10 minutes or 10 miles. Low pressure while off-roading could leave you stranded in the woods.
On Snow/winter
In any case, when there is snow on the ground, tires suffer harder. Low tire pressure makes the situation worse because it is more difficult to gain traction and roll ahead. Under these circumstances, you should avoid driving with low tire pressure for more than 40 miles or for more than 30 minutes.
In Summer
Summer brings additional heat while also bringing an end to snowfall. Driving on low tire pressure in the summer requires going extremely slowly and limiting your driving time to no more than 30 minutes. Otherwise, you run the danger of overheating and blowing out a tire.
