Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools and materials.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Confirm all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure.

2. Locate the TPMS Reset Button

Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found under the steering wheel or on the lower dash.
Ensure the ignition is in the "ON" position but the engine is off for this step.

3. Reset the TPMS

Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS indicator light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the vehicle and allow it to run for about 20 minutes to enable the system to reinitialize.

4. Verify the Reset

After the vehicle has been running, check if the TPMS light has turned off.
If the light remains illuminated, repeat the process or perform additional diagnostics as necessary.
