TPMS reset procedure

You should reset TPMS in below situations.

• After repairing or replacing tires (or wheels)
• After rotating tires
• After adjusting tire pressure
• When the low tire pressure indicator illuminates
• After replacing suspension or ABS system

1. Park the vehicle on a level, firm surface.

2. Inflate the tires to the proper pressure as indicated on the vehicle's placard or tire inflation pressure label located on the driver's side center pillar outer panel.

3. Starting the engine, press and hold the TPMS SET button for about three seconds to reset TPMS.

4. Then check that the low tyre pressure indicator turns off after blinking for four seconds. In case of supervision cluster, check that"Tire pressures stored" message is shown on the cluster.

5. After resetting the TPMS, drive the vehicle for approximately 20 minutes to store the new tyre pressure in the system.

* If the low tire pressure indicator turns on repeat step 3.

When resetting TPMS, the current tyre pressure is stored as a standard tyre pressure.

Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)

The TPMS on this vehicle monitors and compares the rolling radius and rotational characteristics of each wheel and tire while you are driving and it checks whether any tire is significantly under-inflated.

You should reset the system by pushing the TPMS SET button according to the procedure and this will store the current tire pressure. After that, if one or more tires are significantly under-inflated, the low tire pressure indicator illuminates and a message is shown on the cluster. Also, if there is a malfunction with the TPMS, the TPMS malfunction indicator will illuminate.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems Explained

There are two common types of tyre pressure monitoring systems, one has a sensor on the inside of the wheel connected to the valve, the other is integrated into the ABS system.

(1) The transponder connected to the back of the valve sends a signal to the car computer with the current tyre pressure of that wheel.

Unlike the early renault system where it had a different coloured ring on each valve which defined the position the wheel / sensors had to be located on the vehicle, modern systems now have a wheel / sensor detection mode, this mode is activated within the first few miles of your journey and tells the vehicle which sensor is at which postion. This means you can move the wheels from front to back (if the tyre sizes are the same) without any reprograming of the sensors.

The benefits of this system is that it can tell you a tyre is flat before you move the vehicle and most vehicles can show a live tyre pressure on the vehicles dashboard. The system doesnt need to be reset when the wheels are move postion, new tyres are fitted or the pressure are altered.


The disadvantage of this system is sensor can go wrong or be damaged when new tyres are fitted if the proper care is not taken.

(2) The ABS system works by counting how many revolutions the wheel does at a certain speed and puts the light on if there is a variation to the stored reading. The variation would be caused by the tyre being deflated meaning the curcumferance would be smaller making the wheel turn faster.

The benefit of this system is that you can put different wheels on the vehilce with new sensor or reprograming (just reset the system)

The disadvantage of this system is that it cant detect a flat tyre till the vehicle is moving. The dashboard will not display current tyre pressures. This system can suffer from false positives, triggering the warning light when all pressures are correct. The system has to be reset when the wheels are move postion, new tyres are fitted or the pressure are altered.
