The Hyundai Santa Fe Mk4 (TM, 2018–2023) uses a direct TPMS — a sensor in each wheel — that relearns automatically as you drive once the pressures are right. There’s no reset button or menu step. Here’s how to clear the light.
How the Santa Fe’s TPMS Works
Each wheel reports its own pressure, so the dash can show which corner is low. You correct the pressures and the warning clears itself after a short drive.
How to Clear the Warning
- Set all four tyres to the correct pressure (cold) — the figure is on the driver’s door-pillar label.
- Don’t forget the spare if it has a sensor.
- Drive normally for about 10–20 minutes. The system reads the corrected pressures and the warning goes out.
If the Light Stays On
- Re-check every tyre — one slightly low corner keeps the light on.
- A steady-flashing TPMS light (about a minute at start-up) means a sensor fault — a flat sensor battery, or a sensor not matched after a wheel change — and needs a tyre shop’s tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the tyre pressure light on a Hyundai Santa Fe?
Set the pressures correctly and drive 10–20 minutes — there’s no button; the direct system relearns on the move.
Is there a reset button?
No — the Santa Fe’s direct TPMS clears itself once the pressures are right.
Why won’t the light go out after pumping the tyres up?
Either a tyre is still slightly off, or it needs a few miles to confirm. A persistent flash means a sensor fault.
Do I need a tool?
Not for a normal reset — only if a sensor was replaced or swapped between wheels.
If a fault code is stored, look it up on autodtcs.com. To clear a service reminder, see our Santa Fe Mk4 service reset.
