Solution

1. Prepare Vehicle

Sub-steps:
- Park the vehicle on a level surface.
- Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.

2. Reset TPMS

Sub-steps:
- Locate the TPMS reset button, which is typically under the steering wheel or near the dashboard.
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release it.
- Start the engine and let it run for about 20 minutes to allow the system to recalibrate.

3. Verify Tire Pressures

Sub-steps:
- Use a tire pressure gauge to check each tire's pressure, adjusting as necessary to meet the recommended specifications (found on the driver’s side door jamb).
- After adjusting, repeat the reset procedure if the light remains illuminated.
