Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure (found on the driver's side door jamb).
Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge and OBD-II scanner (optional).

2. Reset Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Turn Ignition On: Insert the key and turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine.
Locate TPMS Reset Button: The button is typically located under the steering wheel or to the left of the steering column.
Press and Hold Reset Button: Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it.
Check for Confirmation: The tire pressure light should turn off after a few seconds, indicating the system is reset.
Start the Engine: Start the engine and allow the vehicle to run for about 20 minutes to verify that the TPMS is functioning correctly.

3. Final Checks

After the reset, verify that all tire pressures are still at the recommended levels.
Drive the vehicle for a short distance to ensure the TPMS re-reads the tire pressures correctly.
