Diagnostic Steps

1
Check the tire pressures on all four tires and ensure they are inflated to the recommended levels specified in the owner’s manual or the driver’s side door jamb.
2
Inspect the tires for any visible damage or leaks that could affect pressure readings.
3
Verify that the TPMS sensors are installed correctly and functioning, especially if new tires have been installed.

Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: Ignition key or key fob.
Ensure that the vehicle is parked on a level surface with the engine running.

2. Inflate Tires to Recommended Pressure

Use a tire pressure gauge to check each tire's pressure.
Inflate tires to the recommended pressure as indicated on the driver’s side door jamb sticker.
Allow a few minutes for the TPMS sensors to register the new pressure.

3. Reset the TPMS

Turn the ignition key to the "On" position without starting the engine. For models with a push-button start, press the button twice without pressing the brake pedal.
Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found beneath the steering wheel or near the fuse panel.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release the button.
Start the vehicle and let it run for about 20 minutes to allow the system to recalibrate.

4. Verify the Reset

Turn off the vehicle and then restart it to check if the TPMS warning light has turned off.
If the warning light remains illuminated, repeat the reset procedure or consult a professional.
