Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed), and the vehicle owner's manual.
Ensure the vehicle is in a safe area, parked on a level surface, and turned off.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

Remove the valve stem caps from each tire.
Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
Adjust the pressure to match the recommended PSI indicated on the driver’s side door jamb.
Replace the valve stem caps securely after checking.

3. Reset TPMS Light

Turn the ignition key to the "On" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found beneath the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the engine and allow it to run for 20 minutes to complete the reset process.

4. Verification of Reset

After the engine has run, check if the TPMS light has turned off.
Drive the vehicle for a short distance to confirm the light remains off.
If the light remains on, recheck tire pressures and ensure all tires are correctly inflated.
