Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure all tires are inflated to the correct pressure as per the manufacturer’s specifications.
Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner (if needed).

2. Resetting the TPMS

Start the vehicle and ensure it is in the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button, typically found beneath the steering wheel or on the dashboard.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release the button.
Drive the vehicle at a speed of 30-60 mph for about 10 minutes to allow the system to recalibrate.

3. Verify the Reset

After driving, check if the TPMS light has turned off. If it remains on, repeat the reset process and check tire pressures again.
