Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner (if needed), and vehicle owner's manual.
Park the vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressures

Locate the recommended tire pressure in the owner's manual or on the driver’s door jamb sticker.
Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
Adjust the tire pressures to match the recommended values by adding or releasing air as needed.

3. Reset the TPMS Light

Turn on the ignition without starting the engine.
Press the TPMS reset button, located beneath the steering wheel or in the glove compartment (consult owner's manual for exact location).
Hold the reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release it.
Turn the ignition off and then start the engine to confirm if the TPMS light has turned off.

4. Sensor Recalibration (if needed)

If the light remains on after resetting, drive the vehicle for approximately 10 minutes at speeds above 30 mph to allow the system to recalibrate.
If the light still does not turn off, use an OBD-II scanner to check for faults and follow necessary repair procedures based on the codes retrieved.
