⚠️ Safety Warnings

Important safety information - read before proceeding

•Ensure vehicle is parked on a level surface and tires are cool before checking pressure.

Symptoms

•Tire pressure warning light illuminated on the dashboard
•Inconsistent tire pressure readings displayed
•Possible alerts for individual tire pressure discrepancies
•Lack of responsiveness when checking tire pressure on the display

Diagnostic Steps

1
Inspect all tires visually for damage, wear, or visible under-inflation.
2
Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the current pressure of each tire.
3
Compare the measured pressures against the recommended pressure found on the driver's side door jamb.
4
Inflate or deflate tires as needed to match the manufacturer's specifications.
5

Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure that all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure (check the door jamb for specifications).
Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed), and OBD-II scanner (if deeper diagnostics are needed).

2. Resetting the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Step 1: Turn the ignition key to the "On" position without starting the engine.
Step 2: Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found under the steering wheel or in the glove compartment.
Step 3: Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it.
Step 4: Start the engine and allow the vehicle to run for a few minutes to ensure the system recalibrates.
Step 5: Drive the vehicle for a short distance (around 10 minutes) at speeds above 20 mph to reset the TPMS.

3. Verify System Functionality

After driving, check if the tire pressure light has turned off.
If the light remains illuminated, repeat the steps or consult the owner's manual for further troubleshooting.
