why does my Tesla Model 3 Highland (2024-present) show low tire pressure warning?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
• Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor, torque wrench, and any required replacement parts.

2. Inflate Tires

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the valve stem caps from each tire.
  2. Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the current pressure in each tire.
  3. Inflate any tire that is below the manufacturer-recommended pressure (usually found on the driver’s side door jamb) using an air compressor.
  4. If a tire is significantly low, check for leaks (see below).
  5. Replace the valve stem caps securely after inflation.

3. Inspect and Repair (if necessary)

• Sub-steps:
  1. If a tire is found to be punctured, remove the tire using a lug wrench.
  2. Inspect the inner and outer surfaces of the tire for punctures.
  3. If a puncture is found, use a tire repair kit to seal the hole or replace the tire if the damage is extensive.
  4. Reinstall the tire, ensuring lug nuts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications.

4. Reset TPMS

• Sub-steps:
  1. Access the TPMS reset option in the Tesla’s settings menu.
  2. Follow the prompts to reset the system.
  3. Confirm that the warning light on the dashboard is extinguished after the reset.
