Solution

1. Preparation

Gather tools including a tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner, and a jack.
Ensure that the vehicle is parked on a level surface, and the tires are cold for accurate pressure readings.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

Remove valve caps from each tire.
Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the current pressure in each tire.
Inflate or deflate each tire to the recommended pressure found on the driver’s side door jamb or in the owner's manual.
Reinstall the valve caps securely after adjusting tire pressures.

3. Inspect Tires for Damage

Visually examine each tire for cuts, punctures, or bulges.
If any damage is found, consider replacing the tire or taking it to a professional for repair.

4. Reset the TPMS

Turn on the vehicle's ignition without starting the engine.
Access the vehicle's infotainment system and navigate to the "Settings" menu.
Select "Vehicle," then "Tire Pressure Monitoring," and choose the option to reset the TPMS.
Confirm the reset and wait for the system to reinitialize.

5. Test Tire Pressure Sensors (if necessary)

If the warning persists, use the OBD-II scanner to check for faults in the TPMS.
Replace any faulty tire pressure sensors as indicated by the diagnostic codes.
