The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in your Mitsubishi plays a crucial role in maintaining safe driving conditions by alerting you when tire pressure is low. After adjusting tire pressures or rotating tires, it’s important to reset the TPMS to ensure accurate monitoring.

Steps to Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System

  • Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position without starting the engine.
  • Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found beneath the steering wheel or near the glove box.
  • Press and hold the reset button until the TPMS indicator light blinks slowly three times.
  • Release the button and start the engine.
  • Wait a few minutes for the system to recalibrate. The TPMS light should turn off once the system detects proper tire pressure.

Keep in mind, if the TPMS light remains on after following these steps, double-check your tire pressures with a gauge and inflate them to the recommended levels listed in your owner’s manual or on the door jamb sticker.

Additional Tips

  • Reset the TPMS after any tire maintenance, including rotations or replacements.
  • If your Mitsubishi model uses a direct TPMS with sensors, a professional tool may be required for reset.
  • Consult your owner’s manual for model-specific instructions and safety precautions.

Properly maintaining your TPMS helps avoid unsafe driving conditions and improves tire longevity. Regular checks and timely resets are key to keeping your Mitsubishi running smoothly.
