Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools (e.g., vehicle owner's manual).
Ensure all tires are inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure.

2. Resetting the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Start the Vehicle: Turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine.
Access TPMS Reset: Navigate to the vehicle's settings using the touchscreen display or instrument cluster. Look for "Tire Pressure Monitoring" or "TPMS" options.
Select Reset: Choose the option to reset or calibrate the TPMS. This may be labeled as "Reset All" or "Calibrate Sensors."
Confirm Reset: Follow any prompts to confirm the reset action. The system may automatically adjust to the new tire pressures.

Check Warning Light: After driving, ensure the tire pressure warning light has turned off.
