Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner, jack, jack stands, tire iron.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is off.
Wear safety gloves and goggles.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

Remove the valve stem caps from all tires.
Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
Compare the measured pressure with the specifications found on the driver’s door jamb.
Inflate or deflate tires as necessary to achieve the correct pressure.
Replace the valve stem caps securely.

3. Inspect Tires for Damage

Examine each tire for visible signs of damage, such as cuts, bulges, or punctures.
If any damage is found, consider replacing the affected tire(s).
Check the condition of the valve stems for cracks or wear.

4. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button (if available) until the indicator light blinks three times, then release.
Drive the vehicle for about 10 minutes at speeds above 30 mph to allow the system to recalibrate.
