Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is turned off.
Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge (to check tire pressures) and OBD-II scanner (if needed).

Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Press the "Menu" button on the dashboard.

Drive the vehicle for at least 10 minutes at speeds above 20 mph to allow the system to recalibrate.
Monitor the dashboard for the TPMS light to turn off.
