Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner (if applicable), and a flat surface for vehicle placement.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface with the engine turned off.

2. Check Tire Pressure

Use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of each tire, including the spare.
Inflate or deflate tires as necessary to match the recommended PSI listed on the driver’s door jamb sticker.

3. Reset TPMS Light

Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button (usually found under the steering wheel or near the driver's side footwell).
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times and then turns off.
Release the button.

4. Start the Engine

Start the vehicle and allow it to run for a few minutes.
The TPMS light should remain off if the reset was successful.

5. Verify Tire Pressure

After driving for a short distance, recheck tire pressures to ensure they are stable and correct.
