Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure all tires are inflated to the proper pressure (refer to the sticker on the driver's door jamb for specifications).
Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner (if checking codes).

2. Resetting the TPMS

Locate the TPMS reset button: This is usually found under the steering wheel or near the driver's side dashboard.
Turn on the ignition: Ensure the vehicle is in the "On" position without starting the engine.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button: Hold the button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it.
Wait for the light to turn off: The TPMS light should turn off within a few minutes after releasing the reset button. If it does not, repeat the process.
Drive the vehicle: Take a short drive (around 10-15 minutes) at speeds over 25 mph to allow the system to recalibrate.
