Solution

1. Adjust Tire Pressures

Sub-steps:
- Use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of each tire.
- Inflate or deflate the tires as necessary to match the recommended pressure found on the driver’s door jamb label.
- Ensure the spare tire is also checked and adjusted if applicable.

2. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Sub-steps:
- Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
- Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found under 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 it.
- Start the engine and allow the vehicle to run for a few minutes to complete the reset process.

3. Confirm Resetting the TPMS

Sub-steps:
- After the vehicle has been running for a few minutes, check the dashboard to see if the tire pressure warning light has turned off.
- If the light remains illuminated, repeat the reset process or consult a professional.
