Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure (usually found on the driver’s side door jamb).
Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge.

2. Reset the TPMS

Turn On the Ignition
- Insert the key and turn the ignition to the "ON" position (do not start the engine).
Locate the TPMS Reset Button
- Find the TPMS reset button under the dashboard near the steering column or on the center console. Refer to the owner's manual if necessary.
Press and Hold the Reset Button
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release the button. This usually takes about 3 seconds.
Start the Engine
- Start the vehicle and allow it to run for a few minutes. The TPMS will automatically recalibrate itself.
Check the Warning Light
- Observe the tire pressure warning light. If it turns off after a few minutes, the reset was successful.

3. Final Checks

If the light remains on after the reset, repeat the above steps to ensure all tire pressures are correct and attempt to reset again.
If the warning light is still illuminated, a diagnostic scan may be needed to check for TPMS faults.
