2
Inspect each tire for visible damage or punctures.

Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: OBD-II scanner (optional for additional diagnostics), tire pressure gauge.
Ensure all tires are properly inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure.

2. Turn the Ignition On

Insert the key or press the start button without starting the engine.
Make sure all dashboard lights illuminate, including the tire pressure light.

Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found under the steering wheel or near the driver's side door.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the vehicle and let it run for about 20 minutes to allow the system to recognize the new tire pressures.

4. Check for Any Remaining Warning Lights

After the reset, check the dashboard to ensure the tire pressure light remains off.
If the light does not turn off, recheck tire pressures and the reset procedure.
