Solution

1. Preparation

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

2. Check Tire Pressures

Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in all tires, including the spare.
Adjust any tire pressures that are below the manufacturer's recommended levels.

Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found under the steering wheel or near the driver's side door.
Press and hold the reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release it.
Start the vehicle and let it run for a few minutes. The warning light should turn off if the reset was successful.
