Open the bonnet and remove the plastic cover from the engine head. On the right side of the head, locate the camshaft RPM sensor.

Disconnect the sensor by detaching the connector clip using a sharp object like a house key, pushing down on the tab at the top of the connector. Using an Allen key, unscrew the sensor's fixing screw and extract the sensor.

Take the new sensor and position it. Refit the Allen screw and reconnect the power supply.

Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
