Solution
1. Preparation
  • Ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure.
  • Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed).
2. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)

  1. Locate the TPMS Reset Button:

    • It is usually located under the steering wheel or near the driver’s side door.

  2. Turn on the Ignition:

    • Insert the key and turn it to the "On" position without starting the engine.

  3. Press and Hold the TPMS Reset Button:

    • Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it.

  4. Start the Engine:

    • Start the vehicle and let it run for about 20 minutes to allow the system to recalibrate.
3. Verify the Reset
  • After the engine has run, check if the tire pressure light is off. If it remains illuminated, repeat the reset process.
