Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure all tires are inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure (found on the driver's side door jamb).
Gather necessary tools, such as a tire pressure gauge.

2. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Locate the TPMS Reset Button
- The TPMS reset button is typically located beneath the steering wheel or near the driver's side footwell.
Turn the Ignition On
- Put the key in the ignition and turn it to the "On" position without starting the engine.
Press and Hold the TPMS Reset Button
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it.
Drive the Vehicle
- Drive the vehicle at speeds above 25 mph for approximately 10 minutes. This allows the system to recalibrate and monitor the tire pressure settings.

3. Verify System Functionality

After the drive, ensure that the tire pressure warning light remains off. If it reappears, further diagnostic steps may be necessary.
