Solution
1. Tire Inspection and Replacement
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Remove any debris or stones from the tire grooves.
    2. Measure tread depth using a tread depth gauge; replace tires if tread is below 2/32 of an inch.
    3. If tires are worn unevenly, inspect for alignment issues.
2. Adjust Tire Pressure
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the current tire pressure.
    2. Inflate or deflate tires to match the recommended pressure found on the driver’s door jamb placard.
3. Brake System Maintenance
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Remove the wheel to access the brake components.
    2. Inspect brake pads for thickness; replace if less than 3mm.
    3. Check rotors for warping or excessive wear; replace if necessary.
4. Traction Control System Check
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Clear any traction control error codes using an OBD-II scanner.
    2. Test the traction control system by accelerating on a wet surface to ensure it engages properly.
