How to reset TPM in an 03 MINI

My wife got the TPM icon flashing on the way to PA today and is worried about it. I filled the tires with air last week and they are fine. I know how to reset in the 08 clubmanS but how do you do it in the 03? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I did several searches and it appears that the reset may be on the E Brake? Is that correct? Thanks, Ed

Hi Ed,

If you look right below the e-brake handle (not on the e-brake itself), you will see a little button, give it a push and the light should go off. (I know the directions are a bit vague, but you will see it (it's on the verticle portion.. --> if you can't find it, I can take a pic if you would like)

Good Luck!

EDIT: Here's a picture anyway (Had some spare time) --> let me know if it works out.

wvphoto: Not sure if you are married or not, but FYI, my wife's car is on road many miles from here and so is her manual and it is tremendously different from the 08 models. Actually I always read the manuals for software,hardware, autos, etc., however, one's spouse may not often do that and counts on the hubby to fill in the cracks on those things.

MiniBeamer: Thank you for an intelligent response to calm my wife's worries. Greatly appreciated.

Push and hold, the light will stop flashing and stay on for a while untill it "learns" the new psi, then the light goes out.
