Friends: 0 |  Can't find tire pressure RESET switch I don't have a tire pressure RESET switch in the position under the steering wheel as depicted in the manual. Am I just blind? |

Friends: 2 | Re: Can't finf tire pressure RESET switch I had a hard time finding it myself the first time. Get a flashlight and look under the dash by the steering column. |

Friends: 2 | Re: Can't finf tire pressure RESET switch I had the same problem...the manual makes it look like it's up higher. At least I know where the OBDII connector is now! Last edited by cpatch; 08-03-2009 at 03:14 AM. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Can't finf tire pressure RESET switch I could have used this thread yesterday.  I looked and then got the book out and looked more, still could not find it. I started to come here and also ask the question, but decided to look one more time and found it.On my 2007 it was easy to find, but anyway now I know.  Jim |

If you run your tires at a higher pressure then those on door plate then it is a good idea to reset it so it knows there is a new pressure and it will still alarm on the 8 psi diff. It's more then just pushing the reset button. There is a post on the forum someplace on how to do it. It might even be in the manual but i haven't looked and it's out in the car right now. Might try afew serches on forum to see if you can find it...it has to do with the TPM light on the dash blinking. Hope this helps I hope i got all this right. If not someone will jump in. | |
