Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner (if needed).
Verify that all tires are inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure (found on the driver's side door jamb).

2. Reset TPMS

Locate the TPMS Reset Button:
- The TPMS reset button is typically found beneath the steering wheel or to the left of the dashboard.
Turn on the Ignition:
- Insert the key in the ignition and turn to the "ON" position without starting the engine (or press the Start button twice without pressing the brake pedal on push button start models).
Press the TPMS Reset Button:
- Hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS indicator light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the Engine:
- Start the vehicle and allow it to run for about 20 minutes to let the system re-calibrate.
Check TPMS Light:
- After driving, check if the TPMS warning light has turned off. If it remains illuminated, repeat the reset process or check for sensor issues.
