Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure that all tires, including the spare, are inflated to the correct pressure as specified on the driver’s side door jamb sticker.
Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, and potentially a portable air compressor or air pump if adjustments are needed.

2. Reset Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Start the Engine
- Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS Reset Button
- Find the TPMS reset button, which is typically located under the steering wheel or on the lower dashboard.
Press and Hold the TPMS Reset Button
- Press and hold the reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times and then turns off. This indicates that the system has been reset.
Turn Off the Ignition
- Turn the ignition off and wait for a few seconds.
Start the Engine Again
- Start the engine and check if the tire pressure light has turned off. If it remains illuminated, repeat the reset process.
