Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: OBD-II scanner, tire pressure gauge, TPMS reset tool, jack, jack stands.
Safety Warnings: Ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface and the engine is off before working on tires.

2. Adjust Tire Pressure

Sub-steps:
1. Check the recommended tire pressure for the Genesis G70 (usually found on the driver’s side door jamb).
2. Inflate or deflate each tire to the recommended pressure using an air compressor or tire pressure gauge.
3. After adjustments, verify the pressure again to ensure accuracy.

3. Replace Faulty TPMS Sensors

Sub-steps:
1. Lift the vehicle with a jack and secure it with jack stands.
2. Remove the tire from the wheel where the TPMS sensor is faulty.
3. Detach the TPMS sensor from the valve stem, usually requiring a special tool.
4. Install the new TPMS sensor according to manufacturer specifications.
5. Reinstall the tire and ensure it is properly balanced and inflated.

4. Reset and Recalibrate TPMS

Sub-steps:
1. With the vehicle in the ON position (engine not running), use the OBD-II scanner or TPMS tool to reset the TPMS system.
2. Follow the tool instructions to recalibrate the sensors.
3. Drive the vehicle for a short distance (typically 10-15 minutes) to allow the system to detect the new sensor data.
