Component
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Repair Time
30 minutes

Safety Warnings

  • ⚠Ensure tires are cold before checking pressure for accurate readings.
  • ⚠Use caution when working with air compressors to avoid injury.

Symptoms

  • •Tire pressure warning light is illuminated on the dashboard.
  • •Potentially uneven tire wear due to incorrect tire pressure.
  • •Tires may feel under-inflated or over-inflated.
  • •Decreased fuel efficiency due to improper tire pressure.
  • •Vehicle handling may feel compromised.

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Check the tire pressures of all four tires using a tire pressure gauge.
  2. 2Ensure that the spare tire (if equipped with a sensor) is also checked.
  3. 3Look for any visible damage or leaks in the tires.
  4. 4Verify if the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensor is functioning properly.
  5. 5Confirm if the air pressure is at the recommended level as per the vehicle's placard.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed).
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

  • Sub-steps:
    • Remove valve caps from each tire.
    • Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the current pressure of each tire.
    • Refer to the sticker located on the driver’s side door jamb for the recommended tire pressure.
    • If any tire is below the recommended pressure, inflate it using the air compressor to the correct PSI.
    • If any tire is over-inflated, release air until it reaches the recommended level.

3. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

  • Sub-steps:
    • Turn the ignition switch to the ON position without starting the engine.
    • Press the TPMS reset button, which is usually located under the steering wheel or near the driver's side dashboard.
    • Hold the button until the tire pressure light blinks three times and then turns off.
    • Turn off the ignition and then start the vehicle to check if the light has reset.

4. Final Inspection

  • Sub-steps:
    • Inspect each tire visually for any signs of damage or leaks after adjusting the pressure.
    • Reinstall all valve caps securely.
    • Ensure that the tire pressure light remains off during the subsequent drive.

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

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
