Diagnostic Steps

1
Verify tire pressures using a tire pressure gauge to ensure all tires are inflated to the manufacturer's recommended levels.
2
Check for any visible damage or punctures on the tires that may cause loss of pressure.
3
Confirm that the spare tire (if equipped with a pressure sensor) is also checked and inflated properly.

Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure that all tires are inflated to the correct pressure as indicated on the driver's side door jamb sticker.
Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge (if not already available).

2. Resetting the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button, which is typically found beneath the steering column or near the fuse panel.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes to ensure the system recalibrates.

3. Final Check

Turn off the engine and restart it to confirm that the tire pressure warning light is no longer illuminated.
Drive the vehicle for a short distance to allow the TPMS to complete its self-check.
