Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, TPMS tool, and OBD-II scanner.
  • Ensure vehicle is parked on a level surface and tires are cool.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal (optional for TPMS work).
2. Check Tire Pressures
  • Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire.
  • Compare the readings to the manufacturer-recommended pressure (found on the driver's side door jamb).
  • Inflate or deflate tires as necessary to reach the recommended levels.
3. Inspect Tires
  • Examine each tire for visible damage, punctures, or cuts.
  • Check the tread depth to ensure it is within safe limits.
  • Replace any damaged or excessively worn tires.
4. Test and Replace TPMS Sensors (if necessary)
  • Use the TPMS tool to check the functionality of each tire sensor.
  • If a sensor is not transmitting correctly, remove the tire from the rim and replace the TPMS sensor.
    • Tools required: Tire changing tools, TPMS sensor replacement kit.
5. Reset TPMS
  • After correcting any pressure issues or replacing sensors, reset the TPMS.
  • Access the TPMS reset option through the vehicle's infotainment system or use a TPMS reset tool.
  • Confirm the reset by monitoring the dashboard for the warning light to turn off.
