Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner (if needed).
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.

2. Inflate Tires

Sub-steps:
1. Remove the valve cap from each tire.
2. Use the tire pressure gauge to check the pressure.
3. Inflate each tire to the manufacturer's recommended pressure, usually found on the driver’s door jamb.
4. Replace the valve caps securely.

3. Reset Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Sub-steps:
1. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
2. Locate the TPMS reset button, typically found under the steering wheel or near the dashboard.
3. Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
4. Start the vehicle and wait for a few minutes to see if the light turns off.

4. Final Check

Sub-steps:
1. Drive the vehicle for a short distance (about 10-15 minutes) to allow the system to recalibrate.
2. Monitor the tire pressure warning light; it should remain off if the tire pressures are correct.
