Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure all tires are inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressures (found in the driver’s door jamb).
Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner (if needed).

2. Resetting the TPMS

Turn the Ignition On
- Insert the key and turn the ignition to the "On" position (do not start the engine).
Locate the TPMS Reset Button
- The reset button is typically found beneath the steering column or on the dashboard.
Press and Hold the Reset Button
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release the button.
Turn Off the Ignition
- Turn the ignition back to the "Off" position.
Start the Engine
- Start the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes. The warning light should turn off if the TPMS has reset successfully.

3. Final Checks

After resetting, check all tire pressures again to ensure they are correct.
Take the vehicle for a short drive to confirm the warning light remains off.
