Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: Tire pressure gauge, tire inflator or air compressor, jack, jack stands, lug wrench, and OBD-II scanner.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and engage the parking brake for safety.

2. Check and Inflate Tires

Sub-step 1: Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire, including the spare.
Sub-step 2: Compare readings against the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure (found on the driver’s door jamb).
Sub-step 3: If any tire is under-inflated, use the tire inflator or air compressor to inflate it to the recommended pressure.
Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, tire inflator.

3. Inspect Tires

Sub-step 1: Remove any foreign objects (e.g., nails or glass) from the tires if present.
Sub-step 2: Check for visible damage, such as cracks or bulges in the tire sidewalls.
Sub-step 3: If a puncture or severe damage is found, consider replacing the tire or taking it to a professional for repair.
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, lug wrench.

4. Reset TPMS (if applicable)

Sub-step 1: Refer to the vehicle owner's manual to locate the TPMS reset button.
Sub-step 2: Press and hold the reset button until the TPMS warning light blinks three times, then release.
Sub-step 3: Start the vehicle and allow it to run for a few minutes to check if the warning light turns off.
Tools Required: None.
