Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: Tire pressure gauge.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is turned off.

2. Check Tire Pressures

Using a tire pressure gauge, measure the pressure of each tire, including the spare if applicable.
Inflate or deflate tires as necessary to match the recommended tire pressure specified in the owner's manual or on the driver's side door jamb.

3. Reset the TPMS Light

Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position (do not start the engine).
Locate the TPMS reset button, which is usually found beneath the steering wheel or near the driver's side dash.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release it.
Start the engine and wait for a few minutes to allow the system to recalibrate.

4. Verify Reset

After the recalibration period, check whether the tire pressure warning light is still illuminated. If the light remains on, repeat the reset process or check for other issues.
