Here’s a detailed guide on how to reset the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) for a Porsche Cayenne. The procedure can vary slightly depending on the model year, but the general steps are as follows:
🔧 How to Reset Tire Pressure on a Porsche Cayenne
✅ Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Check and Adjust Tire Pressures
-
Before resetting, check all four tires (and the spare, if applicable) with a tire pressure gauge.
-
Inflate tires to the manufacturer's recommended pressure, usually found on a sticker inside the driver’s door frame or in the owner’s manual.
2. Start the Vehicle
3. Access the TPMS Menu
4. Select “Reset” or “Teach”
-
Choose the option that says “Reset”, “Teach”, or “RDK Initialization” (wording may vary by year).
-
The system may display:
“Are you using the correct tire pressure?” – Confirm “Yes”.
5. Drive the Vehicle
-
After confirming the reset, drive the vehicle at a speed over 25 km/h (15 mph) for about 10 to 15 minutes.
-
The system will learn and calibrate the current pressures.
📌 Additional Tips:
-
If the warning light does not disappear after resetting and driving, re-check tire pressure for slow leaks or sensor issues.
-
On some older Cayenne models, TPMS reset is automatic after refilling the tires and driving for a few minutes—there is no manual reset.
-
A faulty TPMS sensor or low sensor battery can also prevent the system from resetting.
