Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure that all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure.
Gather the vehicle's owner's manual for reference.

2. Locate the TPMS Reset Button

Sit in the driver's seat and locate the TPMS reset button. This is typically found underneath the steering wheel or on the dashboard.

3. Reset the TPMS

With the vehicle in the "ON" position (engine running or ignition in the ON position):
1. Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS indicator light blinks three times, then release the button.
2. The TPMS indicator light should turn off after a few moments.

4. Drive the Vehicle

Drive the vehicle for at least 10 minutes at speeds over 50 mph. This allows the system to recalibrate and recognize the new tire pressures.
