Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: a tire pressure gauge and the vehicle's owner's manual for reference.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is turned off.

2. Inflate Tires

Using the tire pressure gauge, check the pressure of each tire.
Inflate any tire that is below the recommended PSI as stated on the driver’s door jamb sticker.

3. Reset the TPMS

Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button; it is usually found under the steering column or near the dashboard.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the engine and allow the vehicle to run for a few minutes. The TPMS light should turn off if the reset is successful.

4. Verify Tire Pressures

After resetting, double-check all tire pressures again to ensure they are within the recommended range.

5. Recheck TPMS Light

If the light remains on after a successful reset and tire pressures are correct, further diagnostics may be required for the TPMS sensors.
