Gather necessary tools and parts.
Ensure that all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure as indicated on the driver’s side door jamb.

2. Reset TPMS Light

Locate the TPMS Reset Button:

Reset the TPMS:
- Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (do not start the engine).
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS warning light blinks three times, then release the button.
- Start the engine and wait for a few minutes to see if the light goes off.

3. Recheck Tire Pressure

Confirm All Tire Pressures:
- Use a tire pressure gauge to ensure all tires are at the recommended pressure.
- Inflate any low tires to the specified PSI.

4. Drive the Vehicle

Test Drive:
- Drive the vehicle at a speed of 25 mph or higher for approximately 10 minutes to allow the TPMS to recalibrate and check if the light turns off.
