Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools: a tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner (if needed).
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface with the ignition turned on.
2. Inflate Tires
  • Use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of all four tires.
  • Inflate each tire to the recommended pressure listed on the driver's side door jamb.
3. Reset TPMS
  • Turn on the ignition without starting the engine.
  • Locate the TPMS reset button (usually found beneath the steering column or in the glove compartment).
  • Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS warning light blinks three times, then release it.
  • Turn off the ignition.
4. Drive the Vehicle
  • Drive the vehicle at a speed of at least 50 mph for about 10-15 minutes to allow the system to recalibrate.
