Important safety information - read before proceeding

•Ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface while checking tire pressures to avoid inaccurate readings.

Symptoms

•Tire pressure warning light is illuminated on the dashboard
•Inconsistent tire pressure readings on the display
•Poor handling due to under-inflated tires
•Audible alerts or messages related to tire pressure

Diagnostic Steps

1
Check the tire pressure of all four tires using a tire pressure gauge.
2
Inflate or deflate tires to the manufacturer's recommended pressure (usually found on the driver's door jamb).
3
Confirm that all tires, including the spare if applicable, are properly inflated.
4

Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor or manual pump, and OBD-II scanner if needed.
Ensure that the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

Sub-step 1: Remove the valve cap from each tire and check the pressure using the tire pressure gauge.
Sub-step 2: Inflate or deflate each tire as necessary to reach the recommended pressure level (usually 30-35 PSI).
Sub-step 3: Replace the valve caps securely after adjusting the tire pressures.

3. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Sub-step 1: Turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine.
Sub-step 2: Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found under the steering wheel or to the left of the dashboard.
Sub-step 3: Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS indicator blinks three times, then release the button.
Sub-step 4: Start the vehicle and allow it to run for a few minutes. The tire pressure light should turn off if the system has reset successfully.
