Solution

1. Preparation

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

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressures

Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
Inflate or deflate each tire to match the recommended pressure (found on the driver’s side door jamb).
Recheck pressures with the gauge for accuracy.

3. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Turn the ignition to the 'On' position without starting the engine.
Locate the “Menu” button on the dashboard or steering wheel controls.
Navigate to the “Vehicle” or “Car” settings in the display.
Select the “Tire Pressure Monitoring” or “TPMS” option.
Choose “Reset” or “Calibrate” and confirm the action when prompted.

4. Verify the Reset

Start the engine and allow the vehicle to run for a few minutes.
Observe if the tire pressure warning light turns off after a short period of driving.
If the light remains on, repeat the reset procedure or consult a professional.
