Estimated Time

30 minutes to 1 hour

⚠️ Safety Warnings

Important safety information - read before proceeding

•Ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface when adjusting tire pressures to obtain accurate readings.

Symptoms

•Tire pressure warning light is illuminated on the dashboard
•Possible decrease in fuel efficiency
•Uneven tire wear
•Poor handling or stability during driving
•Increased road noise

Diagnostic Steps

1
Check the tire pressures using a tire pressure gauge to ensure they are at the recommended levels.
2
Inspect each tire visually for damage, punctures, or signs of air loss.
3
Verify that the spare tire (if equipped with a TPMS sensor) is also at the correct pressure.
4
Drive the vehicle for a short distance (typically over 20 mph) to allow the system to recalibrate.
5
Use an OBD-II scanner to check for any stored trouble codes related to the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

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

2. Adjust Tire Pressures

Sub-step 1: Remove the valve stem caps from each tire.
Sub-step 2: Use the tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of each tire against the recommended PSI found in the owner’s manual or on the driver’s side door jamb.
Sub-step 3: If any tire is below the recommended PSI, inflate it using an air compressor to the correct pressure.
Sub-step 4: After inflating, recheck the pressure with the tire gauge to ensure accuracy.
Sub-step 5: Replace the valve stem caps securely.

3. Reset the TPMS Light

Sub-step 1: Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Sub-step 2: Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found under the steering wheel or in the glove box.
Sub-step 3: Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release it.
Sub-step 4: Start the engine and let the vehicle run for a few minutes, allowing the TPMS system to recalibrate.

4. Verify Reset

Sub-step 1: Turn off the engine and restart it to confirm that the tire pressure warning light is no longer illuminated.
Sub-step 2: If the light remains on, repeat the tire pressure adjustment and reset process.
