The TPMS reset button is typically located below the steering wheel, near the dashboard or the glove compartment. To reset the TPMS, turn the ignition to the 'ON' position (but don't start the engine), then press and hold the reset button until the TPMS indicator light blinks three times. Release the button, then drive for about 20 minutes to allow the system to reset.
