Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools:
- Tire pressure gauge
- OBD-II scanner (if needed)

2. Adjust Tire Pressures

Ensure all tires, including the spare, are inflated to the recommended pressure.
- Locate the recommended tire pressure (usually found on a sticker in the driver’s door jamb).
- Use a tire inflator to adjust the pressure as necessary.

3. Reset TPMS Light

Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (do not start the engine).
Press the TPMS reset button, which is typically located under the steering column or near the fuse box.
- Hold the button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release it.
Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to allow the system to recalibrate.

4. Verify Reset

After resetting, monitor the TPMS light for any re-illumination.
Drive the vehicle for a few minutes at speeds above 25 mph to ensure the system recalibrates properly.
