1. Inflate Tires to Correct Pressure: This is the most important first step. The light is likely on because your tire pressure is low. Check your sticker on the driver's side doorjamb or your owner's manual for the recommended tire pressure. Inflate all tires to the correct pressure, including the spare.
2. Drive the Vehicle: After inflating the tires, drive the Jeep Commander for a short distance (usually 5-10 minutes at speeds above 20 mph). The system needs to sense the new pressure to reset. For some models, this alone is sufficient to turn off the light.
3. Using the On-Board Computer (Most Common Method): Many Jeep Commanders allow resetting through the vehicle's infotainment system. This usually involves accessing the vehicle settings menu through the screen. Look for options like:
* Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): This option might directly offer a reset function.
* Service: Sometimes the reset is buried within a broader service menu.
* Settings: A more general settings menu might contain the TPMS calibration or reset option.
The exact steps will vary depending on the year and infotainment system in your Jeep Commander. Consult your owner's manual for the precise instructions.
4. OBDII Scanner (Less Common): Some advanced OBDII scanners can reset the TPMS light. This is usually only necessary if the other methods fail. However, using a scanner may require some technical knowledge.
If none of these methods work:
* Check for Faulty Sensors: A faulty TPMS sensor might be the culprit. This requires a professional diagnosis and sensor replacement if needed.
* Visit a Jeep Dealership or Mechanic: If you are unable to reset the light using the above steps, a professional can diagnose and resolve the issue.
In short: Your owner's manual is your best resource. Find the section on the TPMS system; it will provide the most accurate and reliable instructions for resetting the light in your specific Jeep Commander.
