Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface with the ignition turned on.
Have a tire pressure gauge handy to confirm tire pressures.

2. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Locate the TPMS Reset Button:
- Find the TPMS reset button, usually located under the steering wheel or near the driver's side door.
Press and Hold the Reset Button:
- With the ignition in the "ON" position (but the engine off), press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release the button.
Turn the Ignition Off:
- Turn the vehicle's ignition off and then start the engine again to complete the reset process.
Check the Dashboard:
- Observe if the tire pressure warning light goes off after starting the vehicle.

3. Final Check

If the warning light remains illuminated after following the steps, recheck the tire pressures and inspect the TPMS sensors for any faults.
