Where is the TPMS button on a Dodge Journey?

There isn’t a universal, always-visible TPMS reset button on every Dodge Journey. In many model years, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) resets automatically once tires are inflated to the proper pressures and driven for a short period. If your Journey does have a dedicated reset control, its location varies by year and trim, and it’s often tucked away rather than front-and-center.

To understand this question in detail: TPMS uses sensors in each wheel to monitor pressure. When a tire is underinflated or a sensor is reset, the warning light may come on. Some Journeys require no manual reset at all, while others place a small button in a hidden location. For precise instructions, consult your owner’s manual or your dealer for the exact spot for your VIN and model year.

Where to look for a TPMS reset control (common locations)

These spots are commonly cited for Dodge Journeys; not every model year includes a visible button. If you don’t find a switch, rely on automatic relearn and official guidance for your year.

• Glove box area: In several older Dodge/Chrysler configurations, a small TPMS reset switch or button sits on the left side of the glove box, sometimes behind a trim panel or lever. Look for a tiny round or rectangular button labeled TPMS or RESET.


• Lower dash/steering column panel: Some years hide the reset control behind a trim panel near the driver’s footwell or close to the fuse box under the steering column.


• Center console vicinity: A few versions place a small switch near the cupholders or behind a hidden panel in the center console; if present, it is typically labeled TPMS RESET or RESET.

These locations reflect a range of model years and trims. If you still can’t locate a reset control, check the owner’s manual or contact a dealer to confirm the exact spot for your vehicle’s year and VIN. In many Journeys, there is no dedicated button at all and the system simply relearns after tire pressures are corrected and you drive normally.

Model-year variations

TPMS button placement and the need for a manual reset can vary by year and trim level. Some early 2010s Journey models did not include a user-initiated reset button, relying entirely on automatic relearn, while later or higher trims may offer a hidden control. Always verify with the owner’s manual or a Dodge dealer for your specific vehicle.

What to do if your TPMS light stays on

First, confirm tire pressures are at the manufacturer’s specifications for every tire. If pressures are correct and the light persists, it may indicate a sensor issue or a need to reset (if your model supports manual reset). Do not assume a reset button must be pressed; some Journeys require no manual reset, and driving to allow the system to relearn is often sufficient.

If your vehicle does have a reset option and you locate it, follow the manual’s instructions precisely. If the light remains after attempting a reset or you cannot find a reset control, schedule a visit with a dealer or tire shop to diagnose TPMS sensor faults or battery issues in the sensors.

Summary

In short: there is no single, universal TPMS button on all Dodge Journeys. Many models rely on automatic relearn, and any reset control, when present, is typically hidden in the glove box, under the dash, or in the center console—varying by year and trim. For the exact location and procedure for your Journey, consult the owner’s manual or contact a Dodge dealership.

Where is the TPMS button located?

The TPMS button location varies by vehicle, but it is commonly found under the steering wheel on the driver's side, inside the glove compartment, or on the center console. In newer cars, the function is often available through the vehicle's infotainment or navigation system's settings menu. You should always consult your owner's manual for the exact location and reset procedure for your specific car.

Common locations

• Under the steering wheel: Look on the dashboard to the left of the steering column for a button labeled with the TPMS symbol. 
• Glove compartment: The button may be located inside the glove compartment on some models. 
• Center console: Check the center console area, which can be a common spot for vehicle control buttons. 
• Infotainment system: Newer vehicles may not have a physical button. Instead, you'll need to navigate through the touchscreen menu. Look for settings related to the vehicle, and then find the TPMS calibration or reset option. 

How to find the exact location

• Check the owner's manual: This is the most reliable method, as it will provide specific instructions for your vehicle. 
• Look for the TPMS icon: The button, if it exists, will usually be labeled with an icon that looks like a tire with an exclamation point inside. 

Where is the TPMS reset button on a Dodge Journey?

Find the TPMS reset button, usually under the steering wheel, and hold it until the light blinks three times. Release the button. Start the vehicle and let it run for about 20 minutes to allow the sensors to reset.

How do I turn off the tire pressure monitor light?

To turn off the tire pressure monitor light, first inflate your tires to the correct pressure, checking the recommended PSI on the driver's side door jamb. If the light stays on, try driving for about 10 minutes at or above 50 mph, or perform a manual reset if your vehicle has a TPMS reset button.

1. Inflate tires to the correct pressure 

• Use a tire pressure gauge to check the current pressure in all tires, including the spare if it has a sensor. 
• Add or release air until each tire reaches the pressure recommended on the sticker inside the driver's door jamb. The recommended pressure is often between 30-35 PSI, but this can vary. 
• The light may turn off automatically after a short drive. 

2. Perform a manual reset 

• If the light doesn't turn off, look for a TPMS reset button. It is often located below the steering column and may have a TPMS icon on it. 
• Turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine. 
• Press and hold the reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times. 
• Start the car and wait 20 minutes for the system to refresh.

3. Try a hard reset (if manual reset fails) 

• With the vehicle off, disconnect the positive (+) battery cable with a wrench.
• Turn the car's ignition to "On" and honk the horn for about three seconds to discharge any remaining power.
• Reconnect the positive battery cable. 

4. If the light still won't go off

• The light may indicate a malfunction with one or more of the TPMS sensors. 
• Consider driving at a higher speed, as some systems may require driving over 50 mph for 10 minutes to fully recalibrate. 
• Visit a professional service center. They have the tools to diagnose the issue and may need to recalibrate or replace the sensors. 

How do you reset the TPMS on a 2014 Dodge Journey?

Auto relearn procedure:
Hold TPMS tester on left front tire sidewall next to the valve stem, use TPMS tool to activate the sensor. Repeat for the right front, right rear and left rear sensors. Drive vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph or until TPMS light is off.
