⚠️ Safety Warnings

Important safety information - read before proceeding

•Always check tire pressures when tires are cold to obtain accurate readings.
•Ensure the vehicle is securely parked and on a stable surface while working.

Symptoms

•Tire pressure warning light illuminated on the dashboard
•Possible low tire pressure in one or more tires
•Inconsistent tire pressure readings when checked manually
•Vehicle may exhibit poor handling or ride comfort

Diagnostic Steps

1
Check the tire pressures of all four tires using a tire pressure gauge to ensure they are within the recommended range.
2
Inspect the tires visually for any signs of damage, punctures, or leaks.
3
Verify that the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensors are functioning properly by using an OBD-II scanner to check for any error codes related to the TPMS.
4
Ensure that the spare tire (if equipped) is also checked, as some models include it in the TPMS system.

Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner (if applicable).
Ensure vehicle is parked on a level surface and the tires are cold (not driven on for at least 3 hours).

2. Inflate Tires

Sub-step 1: Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire.
Sub-step 2: Inflate any tire that is below the recommended pressure (found on the driver's side door jamb) to the appropriate level.
Sub-step 3: Recheck the tire pressures after inflation to ensure they are correct.

3. Reset TPMS Light

Sub-step 1: Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (do not start the engine).
Sub-step 2: Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found below the steering wheel or in the glove box.
Sub-step 3: Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS warning light blinks three times, then release the button.
Sub-step 4: Start the engine and allow the vehicle to run for a few minutes; the light should turn off.
