Solution

1. Confirm Tire Pressures

Sub-steps:
- Using a tire pressure gauge, check the pressure in all four tires, including the spare (if applicable).
- Inflate or deflate tires as necessary to match the recommended PSI found on the driver's side door jamb.

2. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Sub-steps:
- Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
- Locate the TPMS reset button, typically found beneath the dashboard or near the steering column.
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it.
- Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to allow the system to recalibrate.
- Check that the tire pressure warning light is now off.

3. Drive the Vehicle

Sub-steps:
- Drive the vehicle for at least 10 minutes at speeds above 25 mph to allow the system to fully reset and confirm the changes.
- Monitor the dashboard for any re-illuminations of the tire pressure light.
