my Honda CR-V is showing a TPMS warning light what does it mean

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner, and a jack.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the tires are cold.
• Disconnect the vehicle battery if necessary for sensor reset.

2. Check and Inflate Tires

• Sub-step 1: Remove the valve stem caps from all tires.
• Sub-step 2: Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the tire pressure of each tire.
• Sub-step 3: Inflate each tire to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure (check the driver's side door jamb for specifications).
• Sub-step 4: Replace the valve stem caps securely.

3. Inspect for Damage

• Sub-step 1: Visually inspect each tire for punctures, wear, or other damage.
• Sub-step 2: If any damage is found, replace the affected tire or repair it as necessary.

4. Reset TPMS

• Sub-step 1: Use the OBD-II scanner to check for error codes related to the TPMS.
• Sub-step 2: If codes indicate a sensor issue, replace the faulty sensor as needed.
• Sub-step 3: To reset the TPMS light, follow the manufacturer's procedure (usually involves turning the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine and pressing the TPMS reset button).

5. Final Check

• Sub-step 1: Turn the ignition to the "OFF" position and then back to "ON."
• Sub-step 2: Start the vehicle and ensure the TPMS light is no longer illuminated.
