Solution

1. Ensure Proper Tire Pressure

Sub-step 1: Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire pressures on all four tires, including the spare if applicable.
Sub-step 2: Inflate or deflate the tires as necessary to match the recommended tire pressure found on the driver's door jamb or owner's manual.

2. Reset Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Sub-step 1: Turn on the ignition without starting the engine (position II).
Sub-step 2: Locate the TPMS reset button, typically found under the steering wheel or on the dashboard.
Sub-step 3: Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
Sub-step 4: Start the vehicle and check if the tire pressure light remains off.

3. Drive the Vehicle

Sub-step 1: Drive the vehicle for at least 10-15 minutes at speeds over 25 mph to allow the system to recognize the new tire pressures.
Sub-step 2: Monitor the dashboard to confirm that the tire pressure light remains off after the drive.
