Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: No special tools are required for resetting the TPMS.
Ensure all tires are inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressures.

2. Locate the TPMS Reset Button

Check under the steering column or near the driver's side dashboard. It may be labeled as "TPMS" or have a tire icon.

3. Reset the TPMS

With the ignition in the "ON" position (do not start the engine), press and hold the TPMS reset button.
Keep holding the button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release the button.

4. Engine Start and Calibration

Start the engine and allow it to run for about 5-10 minutes. This duration gives the TPMS time to recalibrate and recognize the tire pressures.
