Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed).
Ensure all tires, including the spare, are inflated to the recommended pressure.
Ensure the vehicle is in a safe area with the engine off.

2. Resetting the TPMS

Power On the Ignition: Insert the key and turn it to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS Reset Button: This is usually located beneath the steering wheel or on the lower dashboard panel.
Press and Hold the Reset Button: Press the button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release it. The light should remain on for a few seconds before turning off.
Start the Vehicle: Turn the ignition to the "OFF" position, then start the vehicle. The TPMS light should turn off if the system reset was successful.
Drive the Vehicle: Drive for a few minutes to ensure the system recalibrates properly. If the light remains on, repeat the reset process.
