Solution

1. Preparation

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

2. Inflate Tires

Using a tire pressure gauge, check each tire's pressure.
Inflate each tire to the manufacturer's recommended pressure (found on the driver's door jamb sticker).
Confirm that all tires are at the correct pressure.

3. Reset TPMS

Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button (usually found beneath the steering wheel or near the fuse box).
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS warning light blinks three times, then release it.
Wait a few minutes for the system to calibrate. The warning light should turn off.

4. Test System

Start the vehicle and observe if the TPMS warning light remains off.
Drive the vehicle for a short distance (about 10-15 minutes) to allow the system to complete its reset process.
