Of course all vehicles are different.
On my 2004 Corvette, all it takes is a magnet that I purchased at home depot for $1.29
Takes less than a minute to reset all four.

I'm sure you can get less expensive tools but the one I referenced is made by Baltec and can deal with multiple car brands. There are many options for resetting the TPMS' but this case requires an expensive tool.

I would just go to Discount Tire and have them take care of it. They might insist on rebuilding the TPMS units but for less than $50 it is a useful bargain.

Or there could be a button in the glovebox. One brand of import at work has this, I just don't remember which one.

There could be some that it is just that easy but not this Hyundai. The instructions per the manual say "if the TPMS light stays on after properly inflating the tires, take it to the dealer for service."
