It keeps track of your tire pressure levels and alerts you when the pressure drops too low. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is an important safety feature available on Hyundai vehicles.
In order to ensure that your TPMS is giving accurate readings, you will have to reset it from time to time to recalibrate the sensors.
With this guide, you will learn how to reset different model years and features, depending on which hardware you have.
Resetting a Hyundai’s tire pressure light
Prior to diving into the step-by-step details, here is a table summarizing Hyundai TPMS reset options:
| Method for resetting | Timing estimate | Needed equipment | Effort level |
| Reset advanced drives | A thirty to sixty minute period | Deflation gauge for tires | Quite simple |
| Button for advanced manual reset | A twenty minute period | Deflation gauge for tires | Quite simple |
| Inflation Adjustment – Advanced | A thirty-minute period | Deflation gauge for tires | Intermediary |
When Is TPMS Reset Necessary?
It is necessary to reset the sensors for continued accuracy during the following instances:
- Positions have changed after rotating tires, and air pressure must be retrained
- Sensors must be synced to new tires or wheels when getting new parts
- A reset recalibrates the system when you notice inaccurate pressure readings
- After other factors have been eliminated, the TPMS light remains on – an indication that the system needs to be reset
In order for the system to provide accurate site-specific pressure information around the vehicle after tire rotations or new tires, it must be reset after each rotation or when tires are replaced.
How to reset a Hyundai TPMS?
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System can be reset using a few different methods, along with other troubleshooting methods.
- Advanced Reset – This feature offers a variety of reset options, such as drive to reset, manual button, and over-inflation
- General Reset – The reset button and adjusting pressure are the most common methods for most models
- Manual Inflation & Drive – Checking/adjusting pressure, inflating tires, and driving steadily
- Additional Options – use a TPMS scanner, seek assistance from a dealer, disconnect the battery, etc
Detailed steps, equipment requirements, and time commitment will be described in the sections below. Check your Hyundai’s manual for specific instructions based on your model. Some methods may be incompatible with your Hyundai.
Reset your Hyundai TPMS with this complete guide
Make sure that you know which reset method to use for your vehicle and how to complete the process correctly by following this comprehensive guide:
Step 1:– Reset by driving
- Estimated time: between 30 and 60 minutes
- Needed Equipment: Gauge to measure tire pressure
Detailed steps:
1. Check and adjust the factory-recommended PSI inflation levels for all four tires, as well as the full-size spare, using a high-quality tire pressure gauge. Door jamb stickers or vehicle owners manuals contain these specifications.
2. Maintain a speed of 55+mph continuously for more than 10 minutes.
3. Leave the TPMS sensors in sleep mode while stationary for 15+ minutes with the ignition off.
4. Drive again – after the TPMS sensor detects dynamic pressure fluctuations while driving, the warning light should turn off within 5-20 minutes, meaning the sensor is calibrated.
Step 2:– Button for manual reset
- Estimated time: twenty minutes
- Needed Equipment: Gauge to measure tire pressure
Detailed steps:
1. Avoid heat expansion by starting with cold tires
2. Check all five wheels for tire pressure and adjust if necessary using a quality gauge
3. Activate the ignition without starting the engine by turning the ignition key to the ON position
4. Scan the left side of the instrument panel cover, near the steering column, for the tire pressure monitor system reset button.
5. Pull the TPMS warning light in the cluster until it blinks three times after pressing and holding the reset button for 3+ seconds
6. Allow the vehicle to run for at least 15 minutes after starting the engine.
Step 3:– Adjustment for inflation
- Estimated time: thirty minutes
- Needed Equipment: Gauge to measure tire pressure
Detailed steps:
1. Use the settings menu or the TPMS disconnect button to disable TPMS monitoring.
2. Put three PSI above the door sticker inflation pressure on all four tires, plus spare.
3. Check the inflation pressure by driving the vehicle for at least five minutes at or above 25 mph.
4. Remove all air from all tires until the PSI reading on the tire gauge reaches zero. Sensor binding problems are eliminated by this method.
5. Fill all tires with the correct air pressure according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
6. If the TPMS display shows errors, clear the codes. The ignition should be turned on for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow for sensor detection.
