I have the car listed above LT with a TPMS. It's showing I have low tire pressure even after inflating the tire to correct size. Is there a way to reset the TPMS to make the warning light go off?

Hello,

I have included the information that you requested down below in the diagrams. The TPMS System is a system that utilizes magnets that must make contact with each other as the wheels spin around. If the field from the magnets are not in line, i.e. they wouldn't be if you had a low tire, then a signal is sent to the vehicle's Power-train Control Module (PCM) AKA, computer" telling it that the tire is low. The PCM will then illuminate the TPMS lamp in the dashboard. Please let us know if we can help with anything else.

Thanks,
Alex
