Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner (if needed).

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressures

Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
Inflate or deflate tires to reach the recommended pressure listed on the driver’s door jamb or the owner's manual.
Repeat for all tires, including the spare if equipped with a TPMS sensor.

3. Reset the TPMS

Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button, which is usually found under the steering column or near the fuse box (refer to the owner's manual for exact location).
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes, which helps the system recalibrate.

4. Verify Reset

After a few minutes, check if the tire pressure warning light remains off.
If the light is still on, repeat the reset process or consult a dealer for further diagnosis.
