Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: Tire pressure gauge, air compressor or manual pump, OBD-II scanner (if needed).
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.

2. Resetting the Tire Pressure Light

Check Tire Pressure
- Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the air pressure in each tire.
- Adjust tire pressures to the recommended levels (found on the driver's side door jamb).
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
- The TPMS reset button is typically located under the dashboard, near the steering column. Consult the owner's manual for the exact location if necessary.
Press and Hold the TPMS Reset Button
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
Turn Off the Ignition
- Turn the ignition back to the "OFF" position and wait a few minutes.
Start the Engine
- Start the engine and check if the tire pressure warning light turns off. If it does not, repeat the reset procedure.
