Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather required tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the tires are cold.
  • Tools Required: OBD-II scanner, tire pressure gauge, jack and jack stands, torque wrench.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressures

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Remove the valve caps from each tire.
    2. Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire.
    3. Inflate or deflate tires as necessary to match the recommended pressure.
    4. Reinstall valve caps securely.

3. Inspect and Replace TPMS Sensors (if needed)

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
    2. Remove the tire from the wheel to access the TPMS sensor.
    3. Unscrew the TPMS sensor from the valve stem using a socket or wrench.
    4. Install the new TPMS sensor, ensuring it is tightened to the manufacturer's specifications (usually around 3-4 Nm).
    5. Reinstall the tire onto the wheel and lower the vehicle.

4. Reset TPMS System

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Start the vehicle and navigate to the TPMS reset option in the vehicle settings using the infotainment system.
    2. Follow the prompts to complete the reset process.
    3. Alternatively, press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release.
