How do I reset the tire pressure monitor system on my Kia Sportage?

I recently replaced my tires and now the tire pressure warning light is on. How can I reset the system to ensure accurate tire pressure readings?

To reset the tire pressure monitor system on your Kia Sportage, first ensure that all tires are properly inflated to the recommended pressure. Then, turn on the ignition without starting the engine and press the reset button located on the instrument panel. Hold the button until the TPMS warning light blinks twice, indicating that the system has been reset.

Another method to reset the TPMS on your Kia Sportage is to disconnect the negative battery cable for a few minutes, then reconnect it. This will reset all systems in your vehicle, including the TPMS. However, this method should only be used as a last resort and you should be cautious of potential electrical hazards.

If the TPMS warning light continues to stay on after attempting to reset it, there may be an issue with your tire pressure sensors. It is recommended to have a professional mechanic inspect and potentially replace the sensors if necessary.
