I just got new tires on my Kia Sportage and the tire pressure warning light is still on. How do I reset the tire pressure monitoring system to recognize the new tires?
ReplyHi Samantha, to reset the tire pressure monitoring system on your Kia Sportage, start by making sure all tires are properly inflated to the recommended pressure. Then, locate the TPMS reset button, typically found under the steering wheel or in the glove box. Press and hold the button until the TPMS light blinks 3 times. This will reset the system and should turn off the warning light.
Hey Samantha, another option is to disconnect the negative battery cable for a few minutes and then reconnect it. This should also reset the TPMS. But keep in mind, if there is an underlying issue with the tire pressure, the warning light will come back on. It's important to check your tire pressure regularly and adjust it as needed.
Hi Samantha, if neither of those solutions work, you may need to take your Kia Sportage to a dealership or mechanic. They have special tools to reset the TPMS. It's also possible that one of the sensors may be faulty and needs to be replaced. In any case, make sure to address the issue to ensure your safety on the road.
