⚠️ Safety Warnings

Important safety information - read before proceeding

•Always ensure the vehicle is on a stable surface before working on tires.
•Wear safety glasses when handling tires and tire repair tools.

Symptoms

•Tire pressure warning light active on the dashboard
•Unusual tire wear patterns
•Vehicle pulling to one side while driving
•Decreased fuel efficiency
•Vibration or noise from tires while driving

Diagnostic Steps

1
Check Tire Pressure: Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in all four tires, including the spare if equipped.
2
Inspect Tires Visually: Look for any visible damage such as cuts, punctures, or bulges on the tire sidewalls and treads.
3
Check for Temperature Variations: Ensure tires are at the recommended pressure at ambient temperature and account for any temperature changes that may affect tire pressure.
4
Examine the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): Use an OBD-II scanner to check for any trouble codes related to the TPMS.
5
Reset the TPMS: If tire pressures are correct but the light remains on, attempt to reset the TPMS using the vehicle's settings or the TPMS reset button.

Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the tires are cool to the touch.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

Sub-steps:
1. Remove the valve caps from each tire.
2. Press the tire pressure gauge onto the valve stem to get a reading.
3. Compare the readings to the recommended tire pressure found on the driver’s door jamb sticker.
4. Inflate or deflate tires as needed to match the recommended pressure.
5. Replace the valve caps securely.

3. Inspect and Repair Tires

Sub-steps:
1. Visually inspect each tire for damage.
2. If any punctures or irregularities are found, remove the tire and repair or replace as necessary.
3. Check the tread depth; if below the minimum safe level, replace the tire.

4. Reset the TPMS

Sub-steps:
1. With the ignition off, turn the key to the "On" position without starting the engine.
2. Locate the TPMS reset button (usually beneath the steering column).
3. Press and hold the reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release it.
4. Start the vehicle and verify that the warning light is off after driving for a short distance.
