Solution
1. Tire Pressure Adjustment
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire, including the spare.
    2. Inflate or deflate tires to the manufacturer-recommended pressure (usually found on the driver’s side door jamb).
    3. Replace valve caps securely after adjustments.
2. Inspect and Replace Damaged Tires
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Visually inspect each tire for cuts, punctures, or bulges.
    2. If any tire is damaged beyond repair, remove it using a lug wrench.
    3. Install a new tire by aligning it on the wheel hub and securing it with lug nuts, torqued to the specified value (typically 80-100 ft-lbs).
    4. Re-inflate the new tire to the recommended pressure.
3. Check TPMS Sensors
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Use an OBD-II scanner to read any fault codes related to the TPMS.
    2. If a sensor is faulty, remove the tire and wheel assembly to access the TPMS sensor.
    3. Replace the faulty TPMS sensor with a new one, ensuring proper sealing.
    4. Reinstall the tire and wheel assembly, and reset the TPMS system according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Reset TPMS
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
    2. Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS indicator blinks three times, indicating the system is resetting.
    3. Drive the vehicle for a short distance to ensure the system recalibrates.
