Turn Off the Ignition:
- Turn off the vehicle's ignition to complete the reset process.
Start the Engine:
- Restart the vehicle and check that the tire pressure warning light has turned off.

3. Verify Tire Pressures

After resetting, verify that all tires are at the correct pressure once again using the tire pressure gauge.
