Solution

1. Preparation

Gather all necessary tools and parts.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the tires are cool to the touch.
Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner, jack and jack stands (if needed).

2. Check Tire Pressures

Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire.
Refer to the vehicle's door jamb for the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure.
Inflate or deflate the tires as necessary to match the recommended pressure.

3. Inspect for Damage

Visually inspect each tire for cuts, punctures, or bulges.
If damage is found, either repair the tire or replace it as needed.

4. Reset the TPMS

Turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button (usually found under the steering column or in the glove compartment).
Press and hold the reset button until the TPMS indicator blinks three times, then release it.

5. Recheck TPMS Sensors

Use an OBD-II scanner to check for any fault codes related to the TPMS.
If codes are present, follow the scanner's instructions for addressing any issues.
Inspect the TPMS sensors for proper mounting and battery condition, and replace if necessary.
