Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: Tire pressure gauge, owner's manual, and any required tire inflator if needed.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat, level surface and the engine is turned on.

2. Inflate Tires

Sub-steps:
1. Use the tire pressure gauge to check the current pressure in each tire.
2. Inflate any tire that is below the recommended pressure to the correct level as indicated on the driver's side door jamb or in the owner's manual.

3. Reset TPMS

Sub-steps:
1. Locate the TPMS reset button, typically found beneath the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel or near the fuse box.
2. Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release it.
3. Start the vehicle and wait for about 20 minutes for the system to reinitialize.

4. Verify Reset

Sub-steps:
1. After the vehicle has been running for 20 minutes, check if the flat tire warning light is still illuminated.
