How to Reset Your Subaru Tire Pressure Light
Try these quick steps to reset your TPMS light:
- Dynamic Drive Reset: Drive 10 minutes at 50 mph or faster. The system may reset and turn the light off at the next ignition.
- Key Position Reset: Turn the key to “On” (engine off). Hold the TPMS reset button until the light blinks three times, then start the car and wait 20 minutes. The button is usually under the steering wheel—check your owner’s manual.
- Pressure Variation Reset: Inflate all tires 3 PSI above the recommended level, then deflate them completely (including the spare, if equipped). Reinflate to the recommended PSI.
- Battery Disconnect Reset: With the car off, disconnect the positive battery cable, press the horn for 3 seconds, then reconnect the battery.
These steps can help restore your Subaru’s TPMS function and keep your vehicle safe on the road.
