Solution
1. Preparation
  • Ensure all tires are inflated to the correct pressure.
  • Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed).
2. Reset TPMS

  1. Locate the TPMS Reset Button

    • The TPMS reset button is usually located beneath the steering wheel or within the glove compartment. Consult the owner's manual if necessary.

  2. Turn on the Ignition

    • Without starting the engine, turn the key to the “On” position (or press the start button without pressing the brake pedal).

  3. Press and Hold the TPMS Reset Button

    • Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.

  4. Drive the Vehicle

    • Drive the vehicle for about 10-15 minutes at speeds above 50 mph to allow the system to recalibrate.

  5. Check the Light

    • After driving, check if the tire pressure warning light has turned off. If it remains on, repeat the reset process.
