We see that on this 2012 Subaru Outback, after changing the oil, the warning light continues to remain on. The reason is that during the operation, the youtuber left the ignition key inserted in its housing, when instead it should have been removed.

So we turn off the ignition and remove the key, open the hood and open the fuse box inside it, and with pliers, or the appropriate tool for removing fuses, we must remove the fuse located on the top right of the box - as seen in the video - and insert it into the immediately upper position that is free.

Now we turn on the ignition and the warning light is off. We turn off the ignition again, remove the key and return to our hood; we put the fuse back in place and restart the ignition. Operation completed.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
