Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure that all tires are inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure. This information can usually be found on the driver’s door jamb.
Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.

2. Reset the TPMS

Locate the TPMS reset button, typically found beneath the steering column or near the footwell.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS indicator light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the engine. The TPMS light should remain off if the system has reset successfully.
Drive the vehicle for at least 10 minutes at a speed of 25 mph or higher to allow the TPMS system to recalibrate.

3. Final Check

After driving, check if the TPMS light remains off. If it comes back on, recheck tire pressures and repeat the reset procedure if necessary.
