Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure all tires are at the correct pressure as per the manufacturer's specifications.
Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge for verification.

2. Locate the TPMS Reset Button

Sit in the driver's seat with the vehicle in the "On" position (engine running or in accessory mode).
Look under the steering wheel or near the driver's side footwell for the TPMS reset button.

3. Reset the TPMS

Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times.
Release the button and allow the system to recalibrate, which may take a few minutes.

4. Turn Off and Restart the Vehicle

Check if the tire pressure light remains off after a brief drive.
