Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed for inflation), vehicle owner's manual.
Ensure all tires are at the correct pressure according to the manufacturer's specifications.

2. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Locate the TPMS Reset Button:
- The reset button is usually found beneath the steering column or on the lower part of the dashboard. Consult the owner's manual for the exact location.
Turn on the Ignition:
- Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position without starting the engine.
Press the TPMS Reset Button:
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
Wait for Confirmation:
- The tire pressure light should turn off after a few minutes of driving. If it remains illuminated, verify that all tire pressures are correct and repeat the reset process.

3. Drive the Vehicle

Drive the vehicle for 10-15 minutes at speeds above 20 mph to allow the TPMS to recalibrate.
