Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner, and a compressor (if needed).
Ensure vehicle is parked on a level surface and the ignition is in the "On" position without starting the engine.

2. Inflate Tires

If any tire is found under-inflated:
1. Use the compressor to inflate the tire(s) to the recommended pressure.
2. Recheck tire pressures with the tire pressure gauge to ensure they are correct.

3. Reset TPMS

Follow the reset procedure for the TPMS:
1. Turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine.
2. Press the gas pedal three times slowly.
3. Turn the ignition off and then back to "On."
4. The tire pressure light should blink and then turn off, indicating a successful reset.

4. Test Drive

Drive the vehicle at speeds above 20 mph for several minutes to allow the TPMS to re-evaluate tire pressures.
