Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools and equipment: tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed), and the vehicle owner's manual for reference.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.

2. Check Tire Pressures

Remove valve caps from all tires.
Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
Compare the readings to the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure, which can be found on the driver's side door jamb.

3. Inflate Tires

If any tire is below the recommended pressure, use an air compressor to inflate it to the correct level.
Recheck tire pressure with the gauge after inflating.
Replace the valve caps securely on all tires.

4. Reset the TPMS

Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate and press the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release it.
Turn off the ignition and then restart the vehicle.

5. Check for Warning Light

Observe the dashboard to ensure the tire pressure warning light is off after driving a short distance.
