Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure as indicated on the driver's door jamb.

2. Resetting the TPMS

Locate the TPMS reset button, typically found under the steering wheel or near the driver's side footwell.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. This allows the TPMS to recalibrate.
Drive the vehicle at speeds above 25 mph for about 10 minutes to complete the reset process.

3. Verification of Reset

After driving, check if the tire pressure warning light remains off.
Inspect the tire pressure using the gauge again to ensure all tires are correctly inflated.
Use the OBD-II scanner to ensure no TPMS error codes are present.
