Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools (OBD-II scanner may be used if needed).
Ensure all tires are properly inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure.

2. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button, which is usually found beneath the steering column or in the glove box.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes.
Drive the vehicle at a speed of 30-60 mph for approximately 10 minutes to ensure the system recalibrates.

3. Verify Tire Pressures

After resetting the system, recheck the tire pressures with a tire pressure gauge.
Adjust any tire pressures as necessary to ensure they meet specifications.
