Here's a breakdown:
1. Check your tire pressure: Consult the sticker on your driver's side doorjamb or your owner's manual for the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle. Use a reliable tire pressure gauge to check each tire, including the spare.
2. Inflate tires: Add air to any tires that are below the recommended pressure. Use a compressor or air pump at a gas station.
3. Drive the vehicle: Drive for a short distance (5-10 miles is usually sufficient) to allow the TPMS to re-read the tire pressure.
4. Check the light: After driving, check if the low tire pressure light has turned off. If it remains on, there might be a problem with the TPMS sensors or a persistent leak in one of your tires.
If the light stays on after properly inflating your tires and driving:
* Check for leaks: Examine your tires for any punctures, slow leaks, or damage.
* Have your TPMS checked: A malfunctioning TPMS sensor might require professional attention from a mechanic or tire shop. They can diagnose the issue and replace any faulty sensors.
The 2000 Buick Regal LS TPMS is a basic system. It doesn't have the ability to be manually reset. The system relies on the tire pressure reaching the correct level to automatically extinguish the warning light.
