Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, owner's manual for reference.
Ensure vehicle is parked on a flat, level surface.

2. Inflate Tires

Using the tire pressure gauge, check the pressure of each tire, including the spare.
Inflate any tire that is below the recommended pressure to the specified PSI noted on the driver's door jamb.

3. Reset the Tire Pressure Light

Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found beneath the steering wheel or on the instrument panel.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it.
Start the engine and let it run for about 20 minutes to allow the TPMS to recalibrate.

4. Verify the Reset

Turn off the vehicle and restart it to confirm that the tire pressure light is off.
If the light remains on, repeat the reset procedure or check for any underlying issues.
