Diagnostic Steps

1
Check the actual tire pressures using a tire pressure gauge to ensure they are at the recommended levels.
2
Inspect all tires, including the spare, for any visible damage or punctures.
3
Verify that the TPMS sensors are functioning correctly by looking for any active error codes using an OBD-II scanner.
4

Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge and OBD-II scanner (if needed).
Ensure the vehicle is in a safe location, parked on a level surface with the engine running.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
If any tire is below the recommended pressure, inflate it to the correct level as specified in the owner’s manual or on the driver’s side door jamb.
Repeat for all tires, including the spare tire if equipped with a TPMS sensor.

3. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found under the steering column or in the glove compartment.
With the engine running, press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release it.
The TPMS light should turn off after a few minutes of driving.

4. Verify the Reset

Drive the vehicle for at least 10-15 minutes at speeds above 30 mph to allow the system to recalibrate.
Check if the TPMS light remains off after the drive.
