Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Turn off the engine and ensure all doors are closed.
Gather necessary tools for checking tire pressures (if required).

2. Check Tire Pressures

Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire.
Inflate or deflate each tire to match the manufacturer's recommended pressure, usually found on the driver’s side door jamb.

3. Reset the TPMS

Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found under the dashboard near the steering column.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release it.
Start the engine and wait for about 20 minutes for the system to recalibrate.

4. Verify Reset

After the calibration period, check if the tire pressure warning light remains off.
If the light is still illuminated, repeat the reset procedure.
