Diagnostic Steps

1
Check all tire pressures using a reliable tire pressure gauge to ensure they are within the manufacturer's recommended levels.
2
Verify that the spare tire (if equipped with a sensor) is also properly inflated.
3
Inspect the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensors for any visible damage or corrosion.

Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure levels as specified in the owner's manual or on the driver's side door jamb.
Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, vehicle key fob.

2. Reset the TPMS

Turn on the Ignition
- Insert the key or press the start button to turn the vehicle to the "On" position without starting the engine.
Access the Settings Menu
- Use the vehicle's steering wheel buttons to navigate to the "Settings" on the dashboard display.
Select the TPMS Reset Option
- Scroll through the menu until you find "Tire Settings" or "TPMS," and select the "Reset" option. Confirm the reset when prompted.
Drive the Vehicle
- Drive the vehicle at a speed of 20-25 mph for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the system to recalibrate and recognize the correct tire pressures.

3. Finalize the Process

Turn off the ignition and then restart the vehicle to confirm the tire pressure light has turned off. If the light remains on, repeat the reset process.
