How can I reset the tire pressure sensor on a 2012 Hyundai Elantra?

The 2012 Hyundai Elantra comes with a tire pressure monitoring system that alerts you if it detects low tire pressure. When a tire is five pounds below the recommended pressure, the sensor sends a signal and illuminates the TPMS light. Once you inflate the tires to the factory recommended 32 psi and drive a few miles, the light should turn off. In some cases, you may need to slightly over-inflate the tires by five psi for the light to go off. If the TPMS light is blinking, there may be a system issue that requires a diagnostic scan to identify. Most of the time, a weak battery in one of the TPMS sensors, which typically lasts up to 10 years, is the cause. The diagnostic scan will pinpoint which sensor needs replacing.
