Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools, including a tire pressure gauge and an air compressor if required.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is turned off.

2. Check Tire Pressures

Remove the valve stem caps from all four tires.
Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
Compare the measured pressure against the recommended pressure listed on the driver’s side door jamb.
Inflate or deflate each tire to match the recommended pressure.

3. Reset the TPMS

Sit in the driver’s seat and turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button; it is usually found under the steering wheel.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it.
Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes; the light should turn off.

4. Test Drive

Drive the vehicle for about 10-15 minutes at a speed of 25 mph or more.
Monitor the tire pressure warning light to ensure it remains off.
