Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools:
- Vehicle owner's manual for reference
- OBD-II scanner (optional, for diagnostics)
Ensure all tires are properly inflated to the recommended pressure.

2. Resetting the Tire Pressure Light

Turn on the Ignition: Insert the key and turn it to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS Reset Button: This is usually found beneath the steering wheel or near the tire pressure monitoring system indicator.
Press and Hold the Reset Button: Hold the button down until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times and then turns off. This usually takes about 3 seconds.
Release the Button: After the light turns off, release the button.
Turn Off the Ignition: Turn the ignition off and then start the vehicle to ensure the warning light is reset.

3. Final Check

If the light remains on after following the above steps, the system may need to be scanned for faults, or the TPMS sensors may need replacing.
