Had a flat tire, fixed tire but low tire light will not go off
1. Remove the fuse panel cover, located on the right hand side of the dash (you have to open the front right hand passenger door). It comes off easily, it is held in place by three spring clips. Be careful when pulling this off, that you don't disengage the spring clips from the panel door, because they will fly off into the dash, and you won't be able to get them out. Replacement clips are about 70 cents each at the Buick dealer, but they will only sell them in a bag of 20, so do the math. Lose the clips, it will cost you about $16 with tax to replace them. I know because I did this :(
2. Start your car, and with the engine idling, locate the RESET button on the fuse panel where you've removed the fuse panel cover. It's a red button, the first one on the top row of the fuse block. Press and hold the RESET button for five seconds. The "low tire" light should come on and flash three times, then go out. If it doesn't, you'll have to take your car to the dealer or other repair shop for service.
3. Replace the fuse panel cover, and you're good to go! BTW, this information is on pages 6-42 and 6-43 of your Owner's Manual. :)
Hope this helps and good luck!

After tire repairs, and all the tires are the correct pressure 35psi (verify at the door sticker) there is a button in the fuse box. I think its red turn the key on and depress this button until the tire light goes off.

Disconect neg. battery terminal for one minute reconnect but be sure ignition is off or you will spike the ECM when reconnecting the battery terminal this should reset the computer, make sure the tires are all inflated to required psi.
