How To Set Hyundai Tire Pressure Monitor System

There's nothing worse than looking down at your dashboard and seeing a caution light when you're trying to concentrate on the road ahead of you. All of these lights are there for your protection, and they usually indicate a problem that you can fix in a matter of minutes. The tire pressure warning light on a Hyundai is one example. Hyundai vehicles are equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, and if the onboard computer determines that any of the tires on the vehicle are under-inflated, a warning light will turn on. Resolving this warning is simple. You can easily set up the Hyundai pressure monitoring system by following just a few straightforward steps at virtually any gas station.

What to Do if the Warning Light on Your Hyundai Tire Pressure Monitor System Doesn't Go Off?

  • If your Hyundai's tire pressure monitor light doesn't turn off after you've driven 10 to 15 miles with properly inflated tires, the system's sensor may be broken. In that case, contact Empire Hyundai of New Rochelle immediately to make an appointment for service. There are a few things you can do before calling for support that might reset the system.
  • You can try to reset the system by pressing and holding the tire pressure monitor's reset button for a few seconds. To initiate this procedure, first, switch off your Hyundai and then turn the ignition key to "on" but do not start the engine. In most vehicles, the button used to reset the tire pressure monitor system can be found someplace under the steering wheel. The tire pressure monitoring system light will blink three times when the reset button is held down. The sensors will automatically reset after 20 minutes of driving.
  • The tire pressure sensors can be reset manually. The procedure is inflating the tires to 4 psi above the pressure regulator and letting the air out until they are completely flat. Use this method on all of your tires, including the spare. If the alert persists after you have reinflated the tires to the required pressure and driven the vehicle for about 10 minutes, you may need to replace the tire pressure sensors.
  • Simply removing the car's battery may help reset the system. Your car must be turned off and the positive battery cable must be disconnected using a wrench. To deactivate the vehicle completely, first, shift the starter to the on position but do not start the engine.
  • Next, sound the horn loudly for 3 to 5 seconds while holding it down. This will eliminate whatever residual power the vehicle may have. Reconnect the battery and check to see if the warning from the tire pressure monitor system has been cleared.
