Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge and owner's manual.
Ensure tires are inflated to the manufacturer-recommended pressure (found on the driver's side door jamb).

2. Resetting the TPMS

Turn on the Ignition: Insert the key and turn to the "Run" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS Reset Button: This is usually found below the steering column or near the driver’s side dashboard.
Press and Hold the Reset Button: Hold the button until the tire pressure light blinks three times and then turns off (approximately 3 seconds).
Release the Button: Once the light has turned off, release the button.
Start the Vehicle: Start the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes to ensure the system recalibrates.

3. Final Check

After resetting, drive the vehicle for a short distance (about 10 minutes) to confirm the tire pressure light remains off.
