Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine.
Have the tire pressure information (recommended PSI) available from the owner’s manual or the door jamb sticker.

2. Inflate Tires

Use an air compressor to inflate each tire to the recommended PSI.
Check the spare tire as well, if applicable.

3. Reset TPMS

Locate the TPMS reset button (usually under the steering column or in the glove compartment).
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the engine and let the vehicle run for about 20 minutes to allow the system to recalibrate.

4. Verify Reset

After 20 minutes, turn off the engine and restart it to check if the tire pressure light has turned off.
If the light remains on, repeat the reset process.
