Solution

1. Preparation

Gather required tools: tire pressure gauge, and vehicle owner's manual.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface with the engine off.

2. Check Tire Pressures

Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire, including the spare.
Inflate any tire that is below the recommended pressure, which can be found on the driver’s side door jamb label.

3. Reset the TPMS

Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button, which is generally found below the steering wheel or near the driver's seat. Refer to the owner's manual for the exact location if necessary.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to allow the system to recalibrate.

4. Verify Reset

After a few minutes of driving, check if the tire pressure warning light has turned off. If it remains illuminated, repeat the reset process or consult a professional.
