Press the Reset Button:
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the Engine:
- Start the engine and allow it to run for several minutes. The warning light should turn off if the system recognizes the tire pressures are correct.
Perform a Test Drive:
- Drive the vehicle at speeds above 30 mph for about 10 minutes to allow the TPMS to recalibrate and confirm that the light remains off.
