Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge
Ensure all tires are properly inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure (usually found on the driver’s door jamb).

2. Resetting the TPMS

Locate the TPMS Reset Button:
- The reset button is usually located beneath the steering wheel or near the instrument panel. Refer to the owner's manual for exact location if necessary.
Turn the Ignition On:
- Insert the key or press the start button without starting the engine (the "ON" position).
Press and Hold the TPMS Reset Button:
- Press and hold the reset button until the TPMS warning light blinks three times, then release the button.
Wait for the Light to Turn Off:
- After releasing the button, the TPMS warning light should remain on for about 3 seconds and then turn off. If it does not, repeat the steps above.
Check Tire Pressure Again:
- After resetting, check tire pressure once more to ensure all tires are properly inflated.

3. Final Steps

Start the vehicle and drive for a few minutes. The TPMS should recalibrate itself, and the warning light should stay off if the pressures are correct.
