Diagnostic Steps

1
Check all tire pressures using a reliable tire pressure gauge to ensure they are at the recommended levels.
2
Verify that the spare tire is also checked, as many TPMS systems monitor the spare.
3
Inspect the tires for any visible damage or punctures that may affect pressure.
4
Confirm that the TPMS sensors are functional and have not been damaged or malfunctioned.

Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, vehicle owner's manual.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.

2. Check Tire Pressures

Use the tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of each tire, including the spare.
Inflate or deflate the tires to match the manufacturer's recommended pressure, which can be found on the driver’s side door jamb.

3. Reset the TPMS

Locate the TPMS reset button, typically found beneath the steering wheel or in the glove box. Refer to the owner's manual for exact location.
With the ignition in the "ON" position, press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to ensure the TPMS resets properly.

4. Test Drive

Drive the vehicle for about 10 minutes at a speed of 30 mph or higher. This allows the TPMS to recalibrate and confirm that all tire pressures are correct.
