Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge and air compressor.
Ensure vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is turned off.

2. Correct Tire Pressure

Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
Inflate each tire to the recommended pressure (found on the driver's side door jamb or in the owner’s manual).
If any tires are significantly under-inflated, inspect for leaks or damage.

3. Reset TPMS

Start the Vehicle: Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS Reset Button: It is typically found under the dashboard near the steering column or to the left of the steering wheel.
Press and Hold the Reset Button: Hold the button until the TPMS indicator blinks three times, then release it.
Drive the Vehicle: Drive the car for at least 10 minutes at speeds over 30 mph to allow the system to recalibrate.
