Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: None specifically required, but a tire pressure gauge may be helpful.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is turned off.

2. Inflate Tires

Sub-steps:
1. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure in each tire.
2. Inflate any under-inflated tires to the recommended pressure (found on the driver's side door jamb).
3. If any tire has been recently repaired or replaced, ensure the TPMS sensor is properly installed.

3. Reset TPMS

Sub-steps:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
2. Press the TPMS reset button located under the steering wheel until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
3. Start the engine and allow the vehicle to run for about 20 minutes to let the system recalibrate.

4. Verification

After resetting, drive the vehicle for a short distance (approximately 10-15 minutes).
Check if the tire pressure warning light remains off and ensure the system is functioning as expected.
