I recently changed my car's tires and now the tire pressure warning light won't turn off. How do I reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System on my Kia Sorento?
ReplyTo reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System on your Kia Sorento, start by turning off your engine and allowing your tires to cool down. Then, locate the reset button usually found in the glove box or under the steering wheel. Press and hold the button for a few seconds until the TPMS light blinks 3 times. When the light turns off, release the button and start your car. This should reset the system and turn off the warning light.
Another way to reset the TPMS on your Kia Sorento is by using the display screen on your dashboard. With the car turned off, press and hold the 'OK' button on the steering wheel until the Menu screen appears. Using the arrow keys, navigate to the 'Vehicle Settings' option and press 'OK' to select it. From there, select 'TPMS' and follow the prompts to reset the system. It's always a good idea to refer to your owner's manual for specific instructions on your particular model of Sorento.
If the TPMS warning light continues to stay on after trying to reset the system, it could be a sign of a larger issue with your tires or sensors. I recommend taking your Kia Sorento to a certified mechanic for further diagnosis and repairs. It's important to address any potential tire or sensor issues for your safety and the longevity of your vehicle.
