Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure all tires are inflated to the correct pressure as specified on the driver’s side door jamb.
Have the vehicle parked on a flat surface with the engine running.

2. Reset the TPMS

Locate the TPMS reset button, which is generally found beneath the steering column or near the driver's side footwell.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the vehicle and let it run for about 20 minutes to allow the system to recalibrate.

3. Verify the Reset

Turn off the vehicle and then restart to check if the tire pressure warning light remains off.
If the light is still illuminated, repeat the process or consult the owner’s manual for additional troubleshooting steps.
