After replacing a broken tire pressure sensor the tpms light came on. How do I reset it or turn it off? 2006 Kia Sportage.

Yes there is ,and you already had that done & were told
of the issue

Replace the bad TPMS Tire Valve & Stem

TPMS stands for Tire Pressure Monitoring System. There are sensors inside your tires that monitor your tire pressure and tell you if they are low. Depending on the car, this light could mean that your tire pressure is low. If you changed your tires recently, the technician could have knocked the sensor, or if you changed rims, there may not be a sensor inside that rim and is showing up as an error code on your dash.

YOU NEED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND HAVE THEM REPROGRAMMED . ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN AFTERMARKET SHOPS REPLACE TIRES THEY SOMETIMES BREAK THE SENSOR THEMSELVES . I WOULD DEFINITLY HAVE KIA LOOK AT IT AND MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE A BROKEN SENSOR

TPMS is the tire pressure monitoring system. This is usually because one of your tires is low.
Here is what KIA says about it:
Once the low pressure tire is reinflamed to the recommended pressure and installed on the vehicle, the TPMS malfunction indicator and the low tire pressure telltale will be extinguished. If the low pressure and TPMS malfunction indicators are not extinguished after about 20 minutes of continuos driving, please visit an authorized KIA Dealer.

If you have to bring it to the dealer, they will most likely have to replace one of the tire pressure sensors.

Thanks for asking and good luck!

Indicates your tire pressure is less then 32 psi on one or more of your tires. Once you have all your tire pressure at 32 PSI, the car's TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) will recalibrate and reset. Once reset the light should go off if all tire pressure are the same.
Thank you for using FIxya and good luck

Replace the horse shoes LOL

You're problem could likely be a problem with the TPMS, or (TirePressure Monitoring System) - sensor. There is one in each wheel, andit's recommended that with any tire changes that they be rebuilt orreplaced. I'm not sure if you've reset the tire pressure switch

Sometimes, to reset the tire pressure light you need to get the special tool.

Hope helped with this. Good luck.

Your Tire Pressure Management System is extremely sensitive. Some makes are known to trip with just 5-8 psi. difference. Have the pressure checked again on all tires including the spare. Make sure the spare is up to proper inflation. VERY important. It is possible that the sensor inside the tire as well as any wiring associated with the system under the wheel wells could have been damaged. Start by making sure the pressures are all within system range. The owners manual will stipulate this and all info you may need to troubleshoot on your own. good luck.

I have Toyota with TPMS so I have some experience... things that come to mind off-hand are:
- Low tire pressure
- Pressure sensor damaged during replacement of tires

Check the pressure on the tires.... if the pressure is good,then likely one or more of the pressure sensors were damaged by the shop who installed the tires, have them diagnose and replace it/them (at their expense!). Good luck.

I have an 05 impala and there is a setting in the Radio to reset the oil life and TPMS system, I'd look in the owners manual to see how to access this feature on the 06 but it should be there.
