Reset the Tyre Pressure Monitor (TPMS)

These instructions apply to the Nissan X-Trail Mk3 (T32) 2014-2022.
For other models, please choose your vehicle here.

When the tyre-pressure warning light comes on in your Nissan X-Trail T32 (2014–2022), it usually just means the system needs to relearn your current pressures after a check, top-up or wheel change. You start the relearn from the vehicle menu, then drive a short distance. This guide shows how.

When to Reset

  • After checking or adjusting the tyre pressures (including seasonal changes).
  • After changing one or more wheels or tyres.
  • After rotating the wheels front-to-back.

Set Your Pressures First

The reset stores whatever pressures are in the tyres at that moment, so they must be correct first. Set all four (cold) to the figures on the placard in the driver’s door aperture, using the laden column for a full load. Never reset with a tyre already low.

How to Reset the X-Trail TPMS

  1. Make sure all four tyres are at the correct cold pressure.
  2. Turn the ignition on — do not start the engine.
  3. Using the steering-wheel menu button, scroll the driver-display menu and select “Settings” (confirm with OK).
  4. Select “Tyre pressures”, then “Calibrate”, then “Start”. The display shows “Resetting tyre pressure system”.
  5. Drive the car for about 2 minutes, keeping the speed above roughly 25 km/h (15 mph). The new pressures are stored.

Light Won’t Go Out? Work Through This

  • A tyre is genuinely low: the system is doing its job — find and fix the leak, re-inflate, then reset.
  • You didn’t drive long enough: the relearn needs about 2 minutes above 25 km/h after you start it.
  • Light flashes then stays on (not a low tyre): a flashing TPMS light points to a sensor fault — often a flat sensor battery. The car may store a code you can look up on autodtcs.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the TPMS reset on an X-Trail T32?

In the driver-display menu: Settings → Tyre pressures → Calibrate → Start, then drive about 2 minutes.

Do I have to drive after resetting?

Yes — after starting the calibration, drive for about 2 minutes above 25 km/h so the system stores the pressures.

Why does the light come back a few days later?

Either a tyre is slowly losing air, or it was a little low when you reset. Re-check all four cold pressures and reset again.

Do I need to reset after just topping up the air?

Yes — any pressure change shifts the reference, so reset after any adjustment.

After tyre or seasonal-wheel work it is worth confirming the service reminder is clear — see our Nissan X-Trail service indicator reset guide.
