Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: OBD-II scanner, digital tire pressure gauge.
Ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended PSI as per the placard located on the driver’s door jamb.

2. Reset TPMS Using the Vehicle Settings

Turn the ignition to the ON position without starting the engine.
Access the vehicle settings through the infotainment system.
Navigate to the 'Tire Pressure' section within the settings menu.
Select the option to 'Reset' or 'Calibrate' the TPMS.
Confirm the reset when prompted.

3. Manual Reset Procedure

If the infotainment method doesn’t work, locate the TPMS reset button (usually found under the steering wheel or in the glove compartment).
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release it.
Start the engine and allow the vehicle to run for a few minutes to complete the reset process.

4. Verification

Turn off the ignition and then restart the vehicle to ensure the TPMS warning light is no longer illuminated.
Monitor the tire pressure readings on the dashboard to confirm they are accurate.
Drive the vehicle at speeds above 25 mph for a few minutes to ensure the TPMS recalibrates correctly.
