Reset Tire Pressure Monitor System?

I just went through the reset procedure and I have to say the illustration in the Owner's Manual sucks.

As jdcollins says, the reset button is under the steering column. It's actually about dead center under the steering column and back about 4" or 5". It's a little round button about the size of a pencil eraser.

To find it I did a paw search with the vehicle power OFF. I'm too old and creaky to get down on my knees and look. I felt around and found it much farther back than I expected. Because the power was off, I could push it without affecting anything.

I then turned the power ON and pushed it and held it until the indicator flashed three times then released the button. I left the power ON for three minutes as instructed in the manual.

When I take off my winter tires (no sensors) and replace with my all season tires (with sensors) will doing this reset take care of things or will the sensor serial numbers need to be re-entered with a scan tool? Can this be done with a ScanGauge 2?

No. Your car will find the sensors fine, no need to reset anything.
