Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure (usually found on the driver's side door jamb).
Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner (if needed).

2. Reset the TPMS

Locate the TPMS Reset Button:
- The TPMS reset button is typically found under the steering wheel or near the dashboard.
Turn on the Ignition:
- Insert the key and turn it to the 'ON' position, but do not start the engine.
Press and Hold the Reset Button:
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release it.
Start the Engine:
- Start the engine and let it run for about 20 minutes. This allows the system to recalibrate the tire pressures.
Check the Light:
- The TPMS light should turn off after the calibration period. If it remains on, repeat the reset process.
