Ensure that all tires are inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure.
4
Check the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor status using an OBD-II scanner if necessary.

Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner (if needed).
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface with the engine running.

2. Inflate Tires

Check the tire pressures of all four tires, including the spare.
Inflate any tire that is below the recommended pressure (found on the driver’s door jamb).
Ensure all tires are at the recommended PSI (pounds per square inch).

3. Reset the Tire Pressure Light

Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found beneath the steering column or on the dashboard.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the vehicle and allow it to run for approximately 20 minutes to ensure the system recalibrates.

4. Verify the Reset

Turn off the vehicle and then restart it to check if the tire pressure warning light remains off.
If the light stays illuminated, repeat the reset process or inspect the TPMS sensors for faults.
