⚠️ Safety Warnings

Important safety information - read before proceeding

•Always perform tire pressure adjustments when the tires are cold for accurate readings.

Symptoms

•Tire pressure warning light illuminated on the dashboard
•Incorrect tire pressure readings on the gauge
•Vehicle handling issues (if tires are indeed under-inflated)
•Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) error codes (if scanned)

Diagnostic Steps

1
Check the tire pressures of all tires using a reliable tire pressure gauge.
2
Inflate or deflate tires to the recommended pressure as specified on the driver’s door jamb.
3
Inspect the TPMS sensors for physical damage or malfunction.
4
Verify if the vehicle's battery is in good condition, as low voltage can affect the TPMS.
5
Scan the vehicle's OBD-II system for any stored TPMS-related error codes.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Gather tools: Tire pressure gauge, air compressor, and OBD-II scanner (if needed).

2. Adjust Tire Pressures

Sub-step 1: Check the recommended tire pressure located on the driver’s door jamb.
Sub-step 2: Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the current tire pressures.
Sub-step 3: Inflate or deflate each tire to match the recommended pressure.

3. Reset TPMS

Sub-step 1: Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Sub-step 2: Press the brake pedal and hold it while pressing the TPMS reset button (if equipped) until the TPMS light blinks three times and then turns off.
Sub-step 3: If there is no reset button, drive the vehicle at a speed of 50 mph for approximately 10 minutes to allow the system to reset automatically.

4. Verify System Functionality

Sub-step 1: Start the vehicle and observe the dashboard for the tire pressure light.
Sub-step 2: Ensure that the tire pressure readings are accurate and reflect the adjustments made.
