Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure all tires are inflated to the correct pressures.
Gather necessary tools including a tire pressure gauge.

2. Resetting the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button, which is typically found beneath the steering column or near the dashboard.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it.
Start the engine and drive the vehicle at speeds above 15 mph for a few minutes to allow the TPMS to recalibrate.

3. Final Checks

After driving, check if the tire pressure light remains off.
If the light is still illuminated, repeat the reset process or consult a technician for further diagnostics.
