Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor, and vehicle owner's manual.
Ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface and the tires are cool.

2. Inflate Tires

Sub-steps:
- Refer to the owner's manual for the correct tire pressure specifications.
- Use the air compressor to inflate each tire to the specified pressure.
- After inflating, wait a few minutes and re-check the pressure to ensure accuracy.

3. Reset the TPMS

Sub-steps:
- Turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine.
- Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found under the steering wheel or in the glove compartment.
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
- Start the vehicle and let it run for a few minutes to ensure the light turns off.

4. Final Check

Sub-steps:
- After resetting, drive the vehicle for a short distance (approximately 10 minutes) to allow the system to recalibrate.
