How to Fix a Flashing Tire Pressure Light in Schenectady, NY

Your flashing tire pressure light should stop after properly inflating your tires. If it doesn’t, there are a few different ways to resolve the issue. Here is how to reset a tire pressure light:

• Drive at 50 mph or higher for 10 minutes to reset the sensor. The next time you start your car, the flashing tire pressure light should be gone.
• If your TPMS light is still on after trying the method above, turn off your vehicle and turn the key to the “On” position without starting the car. Press and hold the TPMS reset button, typically found beneath the steering wheel, and let the light blink three times before releasing it. Wait 20 minutes to allow the sensor to refresh.
• Turn your vehicle off and use a wrench to disconnect the positive battery cable. Turn the vehicle back on and honk the horn for approximately three seconds to discharge any stored power. Then reconnect the battery.
• Inflate all tires, including the spare tire (if you have one), to 3 PSI over the recommended amount. Completely deflate all of the tires, then inflate them back to their recommended tire pressure.
