Mitsubishi uses direct TPMS on Outlander, ASX, Shogun and L200 — inflate to the placard and the light clears on a short drive; most models relearn automatically.
Why the Mitsubishi tyre pressure light is on
Each wheel has a sensor reporting live pressure. The light means a genuinely low tyre, a cold-weather drop, or a sensor at the end of its battery life — usually 6–8 years. On Outlander PHEV the light also appears if a wheel has been changed and the sensor not programmed in.
Mitsubishi tyre pressure light reset — step by step
- Set all four tyres cold to the driver's door pillar placard pressures.
- Switch the ignition ON.
- On Outlander, Outlander PHEV, Eclipse Cross and ASX: most versions relearn automatically — there is no menu reset, so simply correct the pressures.
- On models fitted with a TPMS reset switch (some L200 and Shogun): press and hold it with the ignition ON until the light blinks.
- Drive above 20mph for 10–20 minutes so every sensor transmits and the light goes out.

If the light won't go off
If the light flashes for about a minute at start-up then stays on, a sensor isn't reporting — that's a replacement job, not more air. If pressures are correct and it's steady, get the stored fault read; older Outlanders occasionally hold a historic low-pressure warning that needs clearing with a tool.
What it costs
Reset is free. Sensor replacement £40–£75 per wheel fitted at an independent including programming; dealer pricing is typically £95–£150 per wheel.
Bob's workshop tip
L200 owners who carry heavy loads should use the laden pressure column on the placard, not the unladen one. Running unladen pressures with a tonne in the back overheats the rears and will keep tripping the warning.
