Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, owner’s manual for reference.
Ensure all tires are inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended pressures (typically found on the driver’s side door jamb).

2. Reset the TPMS

Locate the Reset Button:
- The TPMS reset button is usually located beneath the steering wheel, near the fuse box. Refer to the owner’s manual for exact location if needed.
Turn on the Ignition:
- Insert the key and turn the ignition to the “On” position without starting the engine.
Press the Reset Button:
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS warning light blinks three times, then release it.
Turn Off the Ignition:
- Turn the ignition off completely and wait for a few seconds.
Start the Vehicle:
- Start the engine and monitor the TPMS warning light. It should turn off after a few moments if the reset was successful.

3. Verify Tire Pressures

Double-check all tire pressures once again to ensure they are properly inflated post-reset.
