Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface.
Turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine.

2. Reset the TPMS

Locate the TPMS reset button, which is typically found beneath the steering wheel or on the dashboard.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the engine; the warning light should turn off after a few moments if the reset was successful.

3. Verify Tire Pressure

Check the tire pressure in all tires, including the spare, using a reliable tire pressure gauge.
Inflate or deflate the tires to the manufacturer's recommended pressure as indicated on the driver’s side door jamb sticker.

4. Recheck the System

Drive the vehicle at speeds above 20 mph for a few minutes to allow the TPMS to recalibrate.
Monitor the dashboard for any reappearance of the tire pressure warning light.
