Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure (check the driver's side door jamb for specifications).
Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge and OBD-II scanner (optional for advanced diagnostics).

2. Resetting the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Turn on the Ignition: Insert the key and turn it to the "ON" position, but do not start the engine.
Locate the TPMS Reset Button: It is usually located under the steering column or on the dashboard.
Press and Hold the TPMS Reset Button: Hold the button until the TPMS indicator blinks three times, then release it.
Turn Off the Ignition: Switch the ignition off and wait for a few seconds.
Start the Engine: Start the vehicle and allow it to run for about 20 minutes, which will enable the system to recalibrate.

3. Verify Tire Pressure Again

After the reset, double-check that all tires are at the correct pressure again to ensure the reset was successful.
