Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed), and the vehicle owner's manual for recommended tire pressures.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressures

Remove the valve caps from all tires, including the spare if applicable.
Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
Inflate any under-inflated tires to the manufacturer's recommended pressure, which can be found on the driver’s side door jamb or in the owner's manual.
Reinstall the valve caps securely.

3. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button, typically found under the steering column or near the driver's side dashboard.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times.
Release the button and turn off the ignition.

4. Verify Reset

Restart the vehicle to check if the tire pressure warning light has turned off.
Drive the vehicle for a short distance (about 10-15 minutes) to allow the TPMS to recalibrate.
