Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, air compressor or tire inflator.
Verify all tires are at the correct pressure, including the spare tire.

2. Reset TPMS

Turn on the Ignition:
- Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS Reset Button:
- Find the TPMS reset button, usually located beneath the steering wheel or near the driver's side footwell.
Press and Hold the Reset Button:
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the Engine:
- Start the vehicle and allow it to run for a few minutes. The tire pressure light should turn off if the system is reset correctly.
Drive the Vehicle:
- Drive the vehicle at speeds above 25 mph for about 10-15 minutes to allow the TPMS to recalibrate.

3. Final Check

After driving, verify that the tire pressure light remains off. If it comes back on, there may be a fault in the TPMS.
