Solution

1. Preparation

Gather the necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, vehicle owner's manual.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is turned off.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire.
Inflate or deflate tires to the recommended pressure specified on the driver’s door jamb sticker.
Wait for a few minutes after adjusting to ensure the TPMS recognizes the new values.

3. Reset the TPMS

Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found under the steering wheel or near the driver’s seat.
With the ignition in the "ON" position (engine off), press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it.
Start the engine and allow it to run for about 20 minutes to let the system recalibrate.

4. Verify Reset

After the 20-minute wait, check if the tire pressure light remains off.
If the light is still illuminated, repeat the reset procedure or consult a professional.
