    I recently rotated my tires and got a yellow TPMS warning light when I started it up, no surprise. A yellow light shows on the driver spedo along with the small warning triangle but no light on the center spedo. When I flip through the menus and get to the TMPS screen, it says "Active" with no "reset" option. And if I hold the stalk button down, nothing happens. Anyone else experience this?

    The procedure to reset is in the owners manual. You should be able to reset it as long as you're stationary.

    -Turn the car on, and stay stationary until you enact the reset process.
    -Use the stalk to click through the on screen options until you get to SET/INFO, click and hold until it enters the next menu.
    -Scroll through the options until TPMS comes up, click and hold until reset is selected, and it will pop up stating "resetting" then just drive.

    If you have Nav you'll have to use the joystick and navigate through the onscreen options to achieve the same outcome.

    But the car won't allow you to access certain options while moving, keeps fiery car crashes to a minimum. :idea:

    Doh! I guess I forgot about the fiery car crash prevention system and was trying to reset it while driving. Thanks!
