Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner, air compressor (if needed)
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is turned off.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

Sub-steps:
1. Remove the valve caps from each tire.
2. Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
3. Compare the readings against the recommended tire pressures specified on the driver’s side door jamb.
4. If pressure is low, use an air compressor to inflate the tire to the correct pressure.
5. Replace the valve caps securely.

3. Inspect Tires for Damage

Sub-steps:
1. Visually inspect each tire for punctures, cuts, or bulges.
2. Check tread depth to ensure tires are not worn beyond the safe limit.
3. If damage is found, replace or repair the tire as necessary.

4. Reset the TPMS

Sub-steps:
1. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
2. Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found beneath the steering column or in the glove compartment.
3. Press and hold the reset button until the TPMS indicator blinks and then turns off.
4. Start the vehicle and confirm that the light is no longer flashing.
