Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: OBD-II scanner (optional), air pressure gauge.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the ignition is in the "OFF" position.

2. Inflate Tires

Check the tire pressure using an air pressure gauge.
Inflate each tire to the recommended pressure as indicated on the driver's side door jamb.
If any tires were low, ensure they are filled properly.

3. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor

Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the Tire Pressure Monitoring System reset button, usually found below the steering wheel or in the glove compartment.
Press and hold the reset button until the TPM light blinks three times, then release it.
Start the vehicle and allow it to run for a few minutes to complete the resetting process.

4. Verify Light Status

After the vehicle has been running, check if the TPM light has turned off.
If it remains illuminated, repeat the reset procedure or check for underlying issues.
