Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure all tires are inflated to the correct pressure as specified on the driver’s side door jamb sticker.
Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, and if needed, an air compressor.

2. Reset TPMS

Locate the TPMS Reset Button:
- The reset button is usually found beneath the steering wheel or near the center console.
Perform the Reset:
- With the engine running, press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release the button.
Monitor the Light:
- After releasing the button, the tire pressure light should turn off after a few seconds. If it remains illuminated, the system may require additional troubleshooting.

3. Test Drive

Drive the vehicle at speeds of 30-60 mph for about 10 minutes to allow the system to recalibrate and confirm that the warning light remains off.
