How do you check the tire pressure monitoring system on a Hyundai?

My Hyundai’s tire pressure monitoring system alerted me that I needed to put air in my tires. I did—but the light still hasn’t gone off. How do I check the tire pressure monitoring system on a Hyundai?

If your Hyundai tire pressure monitor system’s warning light does not reset within 10-15 miles after you have filled the tires of your vehicle, and your tires are at the proper pressure, there may be a faulty sensor in the system.
Here’s how to check the tire pressure monitoring system on your Hyundai:
First, try resetting the system by holding down the tire pressure monitor reset button. Set the key to on without starting the vehicle. The reset button typically is located beneath the steering wheel. Hold down the reset button until the tire pressure monitor system light blinks three times. Then start the car, and the sensors should reset within 20 minutes.
If this doesn’t work, try to reset your sensors by inflating and deflating the tires themselves. Inflate your tires to three psi above the recommended pressure, and then deflate them until they are flat. Finally, inflate the tires to their recommended pressure. Do this to all four tires, then drive around for 10 minutes to see if the light goes off.
Finally, you can try to reset the system by disconnecting the car from the battery. Turn off your vehicle, and use a wrench to disconnect the positive battery cable. Turn the ignition to the on position without starting the engine, and then honk the horn for three to five seconds to remove any remaining power from the car. Reconnect the battery, and see if the tire pressure monitor system warning has now disappeared.
If none of these solutions work, you should schedule an appointment with your Hyundai dealership.
