Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools and ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Make sure all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure (check the driver's door jamb sticker for specifications).

2. Locate the TPMS Reset Button

For models from 2007 to 2016, the TPMS reset button is usually located beneath the steering column.
For the 2017 model and newer, it is typically found in the glove compartment or near the driver's side dashboard.

3. Reset the TPMS

With the ignition in the "ON" position (engine not running):
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS indicator light blinks three times, then release the button.

4. Confirm the Reset

Start the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes.
Drive the vehicle at speeds above 30 mph for about 10 minutes to allow the system to recalibrate.

5. Check for Warning Light

After driving, check if the TPMS warning light has turned off.
If the light remains on, recheck tire pressures and repeat the reset process if necessary.
