Safety Warnings

Symptoms

  • •Tire pressure warning light illuminated on the dashboard
  • •Possible uneven tire pressure across tires
  • •Reduced tire performance or handling
  • •Warning light persists after correcting tire pressures

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Check the tire pressures of all four tires using a tire pressure gauge.
  2. 2Inflate or deflate tires to the manufacturer-recommended pressure.
  3. 3Inspect the spare tire (if equipped with a pressure monitoring system).
  4. 4Verify whether the tire pressure light turns off after correcting tire pressures.
  5. 5If the light remains on, proceed to reset the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended pressures specified on the driver’s door jamb label.
  • Gather necessary tools: key fob or ignition key for the vehicle.

2. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System

  1. Turn the Ignition On: Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "ON" position without starting the engine. For models with a push start, press the start button twice without pressing the brake pedal.

  2. Locate the TPMS Reset Button: This button is usually located beneath the steering wheel or in the glove compartment. Refer to the owner’s manual for the exact location if necessary.

  3. Press and Hold the Reset Button: Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release the button.

  4. Wait for the System to Reset: The light should remain off after a few seconds. If it does not turn off, check tire pressures again and repeat the reset process.

3. Turn Off the Ignition

  • Turn the ignition off and then start the engine to check if the tire pressure light is still illuminated.

Verification

After completing the repair, verify that the issue has been resolved:

  • Test the affected component to ensure it functions correctly
  • Check for any error codes or warning lights
  • Monitor the vehicle for a few days to ensure the issue does not recur

Prevention Tips

To prevent this issue from occurring again:

  • •Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule
  • •Address warning signs early before they develop into major issues
  • •Use quality parts and fluids recommended for your vehicle
  • •Keep detailed records of all repairs and maintenance

Tools & Equipment Required

  • Tire pressure gauge
  • Key fob or ignition key
