Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure all tires are properly inflated to the recommended pressure (check the driver's side door jamb for specifications).
Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge and vehicle's ignition key.

2. Resetting the TPMS

Turn on the Ignition:
- Insert the key and turn it to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS Reset Button:
- The TPMS reset button is typically located underneath the steering wheel, near the driver's side dashboard.
Press and Hold the TPMS Reset Button:
- Press and hold the reset button until the tire pressure warning light starts to blink three times, then release the button.
Start the Vehicle:
- Turn the ignition to the "OFF" position, then start the engine. The TPMS light should turn off after a few moments if the system has been reset successfully.
Perform a Test Drive:
- Drive the vehicle for a short distance (about 10 minutes) to allow the TPMS to recalibrate and confirm that the warning light remains off.
