Where is the TPMS reset button on a Subaru Legacy?
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) reset button on a Subaru Legacy is typically located inside the driver's side door jamb, near the door latch. This button allows you to manually reset the TPMS system after changing or rotating your tires.
Understanding the TPMS Reset Button on a Subaru Legacy
The TPMS system in a Subaru Legacy is designed to monitor the air pressure in each of the vehicle's tires and alert the driver if the pressure drops below a certain threshold. When you replace or rotate your tires, the TPMS system needs to be reset to recognize the new tire positions and pressures.
To reset the TPMS system on a Subaru Legacy, you'll need to locate the reset button, which is usually found inside the driver's side door jamb, near the door latch. The button may be labeled "TPMS" or have a tire pressure symbol on it.
Steps to Reset the TPMS on a Subaru Legacy
- Locate the TPMS reset button inside the driver's side door jamb.
- Make sure the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure, which can be found in the owner's manual or on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb.
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button for 3-5 seconds until the dashboard TPMS light blinks or the vehicle chimes to confirm the reset.
- Drive the vehicle for a short distance, typically 10-20 miles, to allow the TPMS system to recalibrate and detect the new tire pressures.
After resetting the TPMS, the dashboard warning light should turn off, indicating that the system is functioning properly and recognizing the correct tire pressures.
