How to Reset Tire Pressure Light in Your New Nissan Vehicle 

A Guide to Resetting Your Tire Pressure Light 

Your Nissan vehicle comes equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that constantly monitors the air pressure in each of your tires. This system is designed to alert you when one or more of your tires have low pressure, which can negatively affect fuel economy and overall tire health. When the TPMS detects low tire pressure, it’s important to address the issue as soon as possible by filling up your tires to the recommended air pressure level. However, even after filling up your tires, the TPMS may still display the warning light until it is manually reset. In this guide, our team at Palm Springs Nissan in Cathedral City, CA, will walk you through how to reset the tire pressure light in your new Nissan vehicle. 

Can Cold Weather Cause Your Tire Pressure Light to Go On? 

Absolutely. As temperatures drop, so does tire pressure. Cold weather can cause the air inside your tires to contract, leading to a decrease in pressure. This natural phenomenon often triggers the tire pressure light, emphasizing the need for vigilance during chilly seasons.

Step-by-Step Guide to Resetting the Tire Pressure Light 

Step 1: Locate the TPMS Reset Button 

Find the TPMS reset button, usually located beneath the steering wheel or within the glove compartment. Refer to your Nissan’s manual for precise instructions. 

Step 2: Turn Ignition On 

Start your Nissan’s engine or turn the ignition key to the “On” position without starting the engine. 

Step 3: Press and Hold the Reset Button 

Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks, indicating that the system is in reset mode. 

Step 4: Wait for Confirmation 

Drive your Nissan for a short distance to allow the TPMS system to recalibrate. Once the light stops blinking and remains steady, the reset is complete. 

Additional Tips for Tire Pressure Maintenance 

Regular Checks: Perform monthly tire pressure checks using a reliable gauge. 

Correct Inflation: Keep your tires inflated to the recommended PSI, as stated in your vehicle’s manual. 

Seasonal Adjustments: Be mindful of fluctuations in tire pressure during temperature changes, especially in colder months.
