Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure all tires are properly inflated to the specified pressure (usually listed on the driver's door jamb).
Gather necessary tools:
- Key fob or ignition key
- Owner's manual (for reference)

2. Turn on the Ignition

Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position without starting the engine.
For keyless start, press the "Start" button without pressing the brake pedal.

3. Access the TPMS Reset Feature

Locate the TPMS reset button:
- It is usually found below the steering wheel or on the dashboard. Check the owner’s manual for the exact location if needed.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS indicator blinks three times, then release the button.

4. Drive the Vehicle

Drive the vehicle at a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) for at least 10 minutes. This allows the system to recalibrate and recognize the tire pressure sensors.

5. Turn Off the Ignition

After driving, turn off the ignition and then restart the vehicle to check if the TPMS warning light is off.
