Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: Digital tire pressure gauge
Ensure that all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure.
Park the vehicle in a safe location and turn on the ignition without starting the engine.

Navigate to the vehicle's main touchscreen display.
Select the "Service" tab from the main menu.
Choose "Tire Pressure Monitoring" or "TPMS" settings.

3. Reset the TPMS

Once in the TPMS settings, look for the option labeled "Reset" or "Calibrate."
Tap on the reset option and confirm the action as prompted on the screen.
Wait for the system to process the reset; this may take a few moments.

4. Monitor the System

After resetting, drive the vehicle at a speed above 25 mph for at least 10 minutes.
This allows the TPMS to recalibrate and check for any changes in tire pressure readings.
