Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools and ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Have the vehicle owner's manual on hand for reference.

2. Resetting the TPMS

Locate the TPMS Reset Button
- The TPMS reset button is usually located beneath the steering wheel or near the driver's side footwell. Consult the owner's manual if necessary.
Turn on the Ignition
- Insert the key and turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine (do not start the vehicle).
Press and Hold the TPMS Reset Button
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release the button. This may take about 3 seconds.
Start the Engine
- Start the engine and let it run for about 20 minutes. This allows the TPMS to recalibrate.
Check the TPMS Light
- After 20 minutes, turn off the engine and restart it to verify if the TPMS light is still illuminated. If the light is off, the reset was successful.
