Solution

1. Check Tire Pressures

Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in all four tires and the spare tire if applicable.
Inflate or deflate the tires to match the recommended pressure found on the driver’s side door jamb sticker.

2. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Start the Vehicle
- Turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS Reset Button
- The TPMS reset button is typically located beneath the steering wheel or in the glove compartment.
Press and Hold the TPMS Reset Button
- Press and hold the reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release the button.
Turn Off the Ignition
- Turn the ignition back to the "Off" position.
Start the Engine
- Start the vehicle and allow a few minutes for the TPMS system to recalibrate. The warning light should turn off if the tire pressures are correct.
