How do you reset the tire pressure light on a 2016 Lexus GX 460?

If the tire pressure warning light is illuminated on your 2016 Lexus GX 460, it indicates that one or more of your tires has low air pressure. To reset the tire pressure light, you'll need to check and adjust the tire pressure in all four tires to the recommended PSI level, then reset the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) using the vehicle's controls.

Steps to Reset the Tire Pressure Light

1. Locate the recommended tire pressure for your 2016 Lexus GX 460. This information can be found on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb or in your owner's manual.


2. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the air pressure in each of your tires. Inflate any underinflated tires to the recommended PSI level.


3. Once all tires are at the proper pressure, locate the TPMS reset button. This is usually found near the steering wheel or in the center console.


4. Press and hold the TPMS reset button for 3-5 seconds until the tire pressure warning light blinks or turns off.


5. Start the engine and verify that the tire pressure warning light is no longer illuminated, indicating the system has been successfully reset.

If the tire pressure warning light remains on after following these steps, there may be an issue with one of your tire pressure sensors that requires further diagnosis and repair by a qualified mechanic.

Reasons to Reset the Tire Pressure Light

• Low Tire Pressure: The most common reason the tire pressure warning light illuminates is due to one or more tires having low air pressure. This can be caused by a slow leak, changes in temperature, or normal air pressure loss over time.


• Tire Replacement: After replacing a tire, the TPMS system needs to be reset to recognize the new tire's pressure sensor.


• Seasonal Tire Changes: When switching between summer and winter tires, the TPMS system must be reset to the new tire pressures.


• Sensor Malfunction: In some cases, a faulty tire pressure sensor can trigger the warning light, even if the tire pressure is correct.

Regularly checking and maintaining the proper tire pressure on your 2016 Lexus GX 460 is important for both safety and fuel efficiency. By following these steps to reset the tire pressure warning light, you can ensure your vehicle's TPMS is functioning correctly.

3. Navigate to TPMS settings: Use the arrow buttons on your steering wheel to scroll through the vehicle's settings on the multi-information display in the instrument cluster. Find the "TPMS" or "Tire Pressure Monitoring System" screen. 
4. Press and hold the reset button: Locate the center "enter" button on your steering wheel. Press and hold this button until the TPMS warning light flashes three times on the dash, indicating the reset has started. 
5. Drive to complete calibration: Drive the vehicle for a few minutes to allow the system to recalibrate itself. The warning light should turn off. 

Troubleshooting

• If the light stays on or blinks continuously, there may be a system malfunction, a faulty sensor, or low battery in a sensor. 
• Ensure the spare tire is properly inflated, as it also has a sensor and is a common cause of the light staying on. 
• If the issue persists, have your vehicle inspected by a Lexus dealer or a qualified mechanic.

Where is my TPMS reset button?

Your TPMS reset button is likely located under the steering wheel on the driver's side, but it can also be on the center console, in the glove box, or accessed through the vehicle's display menu. The exact location varies by make and model, so you should consult your car's owner's manual for specific instructions.
 
How to find the button

• Look for a physical button: Check the area under the steering wheel, often to the left of the steering column. 
• Explore the center console or glove box: The button may be on the dashboard near the center console or inside the glove box. 
• Check the dashboard menu: On newer cars, the reset is often done through the vehicle's information display or touchscreen. You may need to press a "Menu," "Settings," or "Vehicle" button to find "TPMS Calibration" or a similar option. 
• Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable way to find the button or understand the reset procedure for your specific vehicle. 

After you find the button

• With the ignition on (but the engine off), press and hold the button until the TPMS light flashes three times. 
• Start the car: and wait about 20 minutes for the sensor to reset itself. 

Where is the TPMS reset button on Lexus?

The Lexus TPMS reset button is usually found under the steering wheel or above the accelerator pedal. However, newer models often use a menu on the center display to reset the system, accessed via the "Vehicle Settings" menu, where you press and hold the "TPMS" or "TPMS Calibration" option until the light blinks three times. For both methods, the car's ignition must be on (without the engine running) and all tires should be inflated to the correct pressure beforehand.
