I recently purchased a used Kia Soul and noticed that the tire pressure monitoring system light came on. I checked the tire pressure and it seems fine, but the light won't turn off. How do I reset the system?
ReplyTo reset the tire pressure monitoring system on your Kia Soul, start by checking the pressure in all four tires. If the pressure is at the recommended level, then try driving at least 20 mph for a few minutes. This should reset the system and the light should turn off. If it doesn't, then there may be an issue with the sensors and you should bring it to a certified mechanic.
If the light is still on after checking the tire pressure and driving for a few minutes, then try disconnecting the negative terminal on your car's battery for a few minutes. This will reset the system and the light should turn off once you reconnect the battery. Just be sure to write down any radio presets beforehand.
One common issue with the tire pressure monitoring system on Kia Souls is that the sensors can become faulty over time. If neither of the previous solutions work, then you may need to replace the sensors. It's best to bring it to a certified mechanic for this as it can be tricky and requires special tools.
