Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner (optional if checking for codes).
Ensure that the vehicle is parked on a level surface.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressures

Confirm that each tire is at the correct pressure.
- Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire.
- Inflate or deflate each tire as necessary to reach the recommended PSI.
Don't forget to check the spare tire pressure.

3. Reset Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button under the steering wheel, near the brake pedal.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the engine and wait for a few minutes. The warning light should turn off.

4. Test Drive

Drive the vehicle at speeds above 25 mph for about 10-15 minutes.
Monitor the dashboard for any reactivation of the tire pressure warning light.
