Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge and a portable air compressor if needed.

2. Adjust Tire Pressures

Sub-step 1: Verify the recommended tire pressures listed on the driver’s side door jamb.
Sub-step 2: Inflate or deflate each tire to the recommended psi using the air compressor or tire gauge.

3. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Sub-step 1: Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Sub-step 2: Locate the TPMS reset button, typically found under the steering wheel or to the right of the dashboard.
Sub-step 3: Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
Sub-step 4: Start the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes to confirm the reset.

4. Verify the Reset

Sub-step 1: Turn off the engine and restart it to check if the tire pressure light remains off.
Sub-step 2: Drive the vehicle for a short distance to ensure the TPMS recalibrates properly.
