Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner, TPMS tool.
Park the vehicle on a level surface and ensure the engine is off.

2. Inspect and Adjust Tire Pressures

Sub-steps:
1. Remove valve caps from all tires.
2. Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire, including the spare.
3. Inflate or deflate the tires to the recommended pressure as indicated on the driver’s side door jamb label.
4. Reinstall valve caps securely.

3. Check and Reset TPMS Sensors

Sub-steps:
1. If tire pressures are correct, use the TPMS tool to check each sensor for battery life and functionality.
2. If a sensor is malfunctioning, replace it by following the next step.

4. Replace Malfunctioning TPMS Sensor

Sub-steps:
1. Raise the vehicle using a jack and secure it on jack stands.
2. Remove the wheel where the faulty sensor is identified.
3. Unscrew the valve stem nut and remove the sensor from inside the tire.
4. Install a new TPMS sensor, ensuring it is compatible with the vehicle.
5. Reassemble the wheel and lower the vehicle.

5. Recalibrate TPMS

Sub-steps:
1. With the ignition in the ON position, navigate to the TPMS calibration menu on the vehicle's infotainment system.
2. Follow the prompts to reset or recalibrate the system.
3. Drive the vehicle for a short distance to allow the system to recalibrate.
