Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed)
Ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface and that the engine is off.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

Use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of all tires.
If any tire is below the recommended pressure (found on the driver’s side door jamb), inflate it using an air compressor until it reaches the correct level.
Repeat this for all tires, including the spare if necessary.

3. Reset TPMS

Start the vehicle (do not drive).
Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found beneath the steering wheel or in the glove compartment.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
Allow the vehicle to run for a few minutes to complete the reset process.

4. Verify TPMS Reset

Turn off the vehicle and then restart it.
Check if the tire pressure warning light has turned off.
