Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge
Parts Required: None
Safety Warnings: Ensure vehicle is parked on a flat surface and turned off.

2. Inflate Tires

Use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of each tire.
Inflate any under-inflated tires to the manufacturer's recommended pressure (usually found on a sticker inside the driver’s door).

3. Locate the TPMS Reset Button

Open the driver-side door and locate the TPMS reset button, usually found beneath the steering wheel or near the fuse box.

4. Reset the TPMS

With the vehicle in the "On" position (engine not running), press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS warning light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the engine and allow the vehicle to run for about 20 minutes; this will help the system recalibrate.

5. Verify the Reset

After 20 minutes, turn off the engine and then restart it to check if the TPMS warning light remains off.
