Solution
1. Preparation
  • Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, air compressor, vehicle owner's manual
  • Confirm that all tires are inflated to the specified pressure.
2. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
  1. Turn on the Ignition:
    • Insert the key fob and turn the ignition to the ON position without starting the engine.
  2. Locate the TPMS Reset Button:
    • Depending on the model, this button may be found under the steering wheel or in the glove box. Refer to the owner's manual for the exact location.
  3. Press and Hold the Reset Button:
    • Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release it.
  4. Start the Engine:
    • Start the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes. The TPMS should recalibrate.
  5. Check the Dashboard:
    • Observe the dashboard to ensure the tire pressure light has turned off after a few minutes of driving. If it remains illuminated, repeat the reset process.
