Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure: Refer to the placard located on the driver's side door jamb.
Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.

2. Resetting the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Locate the TPMS reset button, which is usually found under the steering wheel or in the glove compartment.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes; the tire pressure light should turn off if the system has been reset successfully.

3. Final Check

Turn off the engine and restart it to confirm that the tire pressure light has remained off.
If the light is still on, check tire pressures again and repeat the reset procedure.
