Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge and possibly an OBD-II scanner if required for advanced TPMS issues.
Ensure all tires are inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure, typically found on the driver's door jamb.

2. Resetting the TPMS via Vehicle Settings

Turn the ignition key to the "On" position without starting the engine.
Access the menu on the instrument cluster by using the steering wheel controls.
Navigate to the "Settings" menu and select "Tires."
Choose the "Reset" or "Relearn" option for the tire pressure monitoring system.
Confirm the reset process when prompted.

3. Manual Reset (if applicable)

Turn the ignition key to the "Off" position.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button, located under the steering wheel or in the glove compartment (check the owner's manual for exact location).
While holding the button, turn the ignition key to "On" without starting the engine.
Continue holding the button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release it.
Start the engine and allow the vehicle to run for a few minutes to verify the reset.
