Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure all tires, including the spare, are inflated to the recommended pressure (usually found on the driver’s side door jamb).
Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge and possibly a portable air compressor.

2. Reset TPMS

Locate the TPMS Reset Button: The reset button is typically located beneath the steering wheel or near the fuse box.
Press and Hold the Reset Button: With the ignition in the "ON" position, press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it.
Turn Off the Ignition: Turn the ignition off completely.
Start the Engine: Start the vehicle and check if the tire pressure light is off. If the light remains on, repeat the reset procedure.

3. Final Check

After resetting, drive the vehicle at speeds above 25 mph for about 10 minutes to allow the system to recalibrate.
