Understanding the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) ππ§
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is a safety feature designed to alert you when your tire pressure is too low. Low tire pressure can lead to poor fuel efficiency, reduced handling, and even blowouts. ππ₯ So, itβs crucial to keep your tires properly inflated. When the TPMS light comes on, it means one or more of your tires need attention. ππ
Step-by-Step Guide to Reset the TPMS Light ππ οΈ
Resetting the TPMS light on your Mitsubishi Outlander is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to get it done:
1. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure ππ§
First things first, you need to check the tire pressure on all four tires. Use a tire pressure gauge to ensure each tire is at the recommended PSI, which you can find in your ownerβs manual or on the driverβs side door jamb. If any tire is underinflated, use an air compressor to inflate it to the correct pressure. π¬οΈπ§
2. Turn Off the Engine and Remove the Key ππ
Once all your tires are properly inflated, turn off the engine and remove the key from the ignition. This step ensures that the system recognizes the new tire pressure settings. π§π«

To reset the TPMS light, follow these steps:
- Turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine.
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button (usually located under the steering column or near the brake pedal) for about 3 seconds.

If the light doesnβt turn off, double-check the tire pressure and try again. ππ¨
