Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed).
Ensure vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.

2. Adjust Tire Pressures

Sub-step 1: Remove valve caps from each tire.
Sub-step 2: Use the tire pressure gauge to check each tire’s pressure against the recommended PSI listed on the driver’s door jamb.
Sub-step 3: Inflate or deflate tires as necessary to match the recommended pressure.
Sub-step 4: Replace valve caps securely after checking.

3. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Sub-step 1: Ensure the vehicle is in the ON position (do not start the engine).
Sub-step 2: Locate the TPMS reset button, which is usually found under the dashboard near the steering wheel.
Sub-step 3: Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
Sub-step 4: Start the vehicle and allow it to run for a few minutes to ensure the light turns off.
