Reset Tesla Model 3 Tyre Pressure Sensors Warning Light

The purpose of the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) on Tesla Model 3 is to alert you when tire pressure is too low and could to create unsafe driving conditions.

If the light is illuminated, it means your tires could be underinflated, which can lead to undue tire wear and possible tire failure. It’s important to understand the importance of proper tire inflation, and how TPMS can help you maintain your tires.

If the tyre pressure light comes on particularity when it’s cold, this is because air pressure is lower when cold and once the tyre has warmed, the light should go out.

NOTE. To stop the warning light coming on, add a little air to the tyres, being careful not to over-inflate.

The tyre pressure warning light illuminates on the Tesla Model 3 often due to tyre pressure falling 25% or more below the threshold allowance in one or more tyres.

Before resetting the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), check pressure in all tyres including the spare if you have one.

There are two ways to reset the TPMS on the Tesla Model 3 model years 2018 2019 2020 2021. Depending on your vehicle firmware update, here we tell you how to do it:

1. AUTOMATIC RESET

For the newer vehicle model, once you have changed the tires the TPMS sensors can reset automatically after driving over 15 mph (25 km/h) for more than 10 minutes. So you just need to make sure all tire pressure is in accordance with the recommended pressure on the Tire and Loading Information label.

2. MANUAL RESET

For older vehicle models, you can reset the TPMS via the touchscreen display. Follow the instructions below to get started:

• Make sure to adjust the tire pressure recommended on the Tire and Loading Information label (The label located on the driver’s door panel)
• Turn on the ignition (Get in the car and then press the brake pedal)
• Tap the CAR CONTROL menu (The control menu is represented by a CAR icon and located in the lower-left corner of the touchscreen)
• Select SERVICE (Several menus will appear on the screen)
• Select RESET TPMS or RESET SENSORS (This option is under the Tire Pressure Monitor menu)
• Make sure to choose the correct tire size, then select RESET TPMS (Choosing the wrong wheel size can result in false tire pressure warnings)
• Drive your car over 15 mph (25 km/h) for more than 10 minutes
• Done!

The full procedure how to reset tyre pressure warning light Tesla Model 3 is taken from owners manual. For more details check the Tesla Model 3 manual.

The tyre pressure monitoring system will now have been reset on the Tesla Model 3 and the warning light should go out. If the light continues to come on, check for a tyre leak or possible fault with a TPMS in one of the tyres.
