Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools, including a tire pressure gauge and an OBD-II scanner (if needed).
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface with the engine turned off.

2. Reset Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Turn On the Ignition:
- Insert the key and turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS Reset Button:
- Find the TPMS reset button, usually located beneath the steering wheel or on the dashboard.
Press and Hold the TPMS Reset Button:
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it.
Start the Engine:
- Turn the ignition off and then start the engine. The tire pressure light should turn off after a few moments if the system has reset successfully.
Drive the Vehicle:
- Drive the vehicle for about 10 minutes at speeds above 50 mph to ensure the TPMS recalibrates.
