How to turn tire light off

The trouble with Tire Pressure Sensors (TPS) is that they are in my opinion, too sensitive. Even a drop in tire pressure of 2 PSI seems to set them off. You may notice that the light comes on in the morning (when it's cool) but goes off after a short drive. Once your tires have warmed up (either from an outside temperature increase or by road friction) the air in the tire expands, increasing the tire pressure slightly, -usually satisfying the TPS and the light goes out.

I've used both of these methods to solve this issue: Get your tires filled with nitrogen (less expansion/contraction than air) or you could increase the tire pressure at the air filling station by few PSI.

tire valve are not the same they have lock nut

Check and fill all the tires to the recommended pressure. after you do that, the light will go off on its own. If one tire is real low, (like 10psi low) find out why.

1. Check and fill all the tire to the proper PSI (usually 35 PSI)
2. Now open the drivers door.
3. On the side of the dash is a little access panel that pulls right off.
4. Now you will see a little red button to reset the low tire pressure light.
5. First turn the ignition to on (don't start the car).
6. Now press and hold that button for 10 full seconds until the low tire light begins to blink.
7. Now release the button and wait for the light to stop blinking.
8. Now turn the ignition off and back on.
9. The light will now be off.
10. Replace the little access panel.

When you "fill" the tires they must be within 3 lbs of each other or the tire pressure warning light will come on. If the tires are "filled" correctly and the tire pressure light still comes on, you may have a tire pressure sensor that has gone bad. You would then have to take your car in to the dealer or tire shop to determine which tire sensor is bad.
Good luck.

Check all the tires with a pressure gauge and fill each tire to 33 PSI when cold (not right after driving). Also, if the light does not go off after you perform this procedure, then you will have to check and fill the spare tire to 33 psi to get the engine to shut off. Most Jeeps don't have a sensor on the spare, but I thought I would mention it.

The TPM system in Chevrolet cars/trucks uses a montitor/valve combination that sends a radio signal to display the air pressure. If the light stays on after filling with air drive a few miles and it should recalibrate itself and turn off. If it does not you can use the relearn procedure listed in the owner's manual. If that does not work the sensor itself is bad and will need to be replaced.

Does not reset it self must be reset on radio

I'm fighting problem #1 right now myself... I'll let you know if I find an answer.

Anytime you get the Low Tire Pressure light you have to reset it. There is a panel on the driver's side of the dash, facing the door. So you have to have your door open to get to it.You are looking for the red button.


From the 1999 Alero manual:

"To reset(calibrate) the system, turn the ignition switch to ON. The RESET button is located inside the drivers side fuse panel. Press and release the RESET button.

The CHANGE OIL light will begin to flash. Press and release the RESET button again. The CHANGE OIL light will go off, and the LOW TIRE PRESSURE light will start flashing. When the LOW TIRE PRESSURE light is flashing, press and hold the RESET button until the chime sounds."

Your tire has a pressure monitor located inside the tire, it is attached at tire fill valve. These are common to have errors, most of the you may need to go to the dealer to have them recalibrated or possibly replaced, some tire centers can recalibrate them for you if that is the problem. Would recommend contacting either the dealer or tire shop for further assistance. Hope this hlps
