how do i reset the tire psi gauges

[xiaolong]

i tried to search this, but no luck

i just had my tires filled with nitrogen (35 psi) and as a result, the psi monitors on the EVIC are way off.

how do i reset them?

it's not in the manual, only thing the manual says is that they will reset themselves. but they didnt

Drive the car and it should reset! I had low pressure when weather got cold added air EVIC off drove and psi reset.

tried that. drove about 30 miles since doing it.
i filled them with nitrogen, it's lighter than regular air, so is this why?

I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned a few times on the forum that filling tires with nitrogen is a waste of money. Your car won't perform any differently with nitrogen. And from what I remember, there is only a small percentage of nitrogen in those pumps that is mixed with mostly regular old air. My suggestion would be to flatten your tires and refill with regular old air. That might solve your TPMS problem too.

thought i would give it a try...if i cant get rid of the chime or warning, then yeah i'm gonna go back to regular air.
didnt pay anything for the nitrogen, so im not out of pocket anything but time.

Don't let these yahoo's talk you out of a good thing. The Nitro is still a better deal especially when its free. My TPMS is about 3psi off as well. I like the nitrogen in the cold, because my psi in the tires stay right where I want them even after sitting a few days. I also like the fact that the psi does not increase by much after the tires warm up. For the money $0.00 I'll stay with it. I dont trust the TPMS anyway. I use an accel round gage in combo with the gage on my air compressor to check my tire psi.

Who are you calling a yahoo? I didn't know that he paid $0.00 for it until he replied. Also, the TPMS, when used with "air" in the tires, is always accurate within 1 PSI. Most people pay for the nitrogen. And those people are throwing money out the window IMO, especially since there isn't much nitrogen in the mixture and it hasn't proven to be very effective.

dont fight over me guys!
ha ha just playin

my readings are sittin at around 21-23 psi.
do i need a special air gauge to measure the psi because if i use a regular tire pressure gauge it reads in those 20s

maybe ther didnt put 35 psi

Just fooling around.

There is no way they put 35 psi in the tires. I had them put 36 cold psi in my tires and everyday in the early morning they still read 36 on the TPMS.
