Electrical
Repair Time
1-3 hours

Safety Warnings

  • ⚠Always use jack stands when lifting the vehicle for tire inspection or replacement.
  • ⚠Ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface to prevent rolling while working.

Symptoms

  • •TPMS warning light illuminated on the dashboard
  • •Inaccurate tire pressure readings displayed
  • •Warning message indicating 'Check Tire Pressure'
  • •Tire pressure fluctuates significantly
  • •Difficulty resetting or calibrating the TPMS
  • •Possible sensor-related error codes when scanned

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Scan the vehicle's OBD-II system for any error codes related to TPMS using a compatible scanner.
  2. 2Visually inspect all tires for proper inflation and look for any visible damage or punctures.
  3. 3Check the condition and functionality of each TPMS sensor by performing a manual reset of the TPMS system.
  4. 4Verify the battery condition of the TPMS sensors, especially if the vehicle is older than 5-7 years.
  5. 5Inspect the TPMS receiver unit for any wiring issues or corrosion that may affect its operation.
  6. 6Review the vehicle's tire pressure and temperature under different conditions to identify any inconsistencies.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools: OBD-II scanner, tire pressure gauge, jack, and jack stands.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat, stable surface and the engine is off.

2. Inspect and Inflate Tires

  1. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the current pressure in all tires.
  2. Inflate each tire to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure (usually found on the driver’s side door jamb).
  3. Replace any damaged or punctured tires if necessary.

3. Reset the TPMS

  1. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
  2. Locate the TPMS reset button (usually found under the steering column or on the dashboard).
  3. Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release it.
  4. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to allow the system to recalibrate.

4. Replace TPMS Sensors (if necessary)

  1. If the TPMS sensors are faulty, remove the tire from the wheel using a tire changer.
  2. Use a TPMS sensor tool to remove the old sensor from the valve stem.
  3. Install a new TPMS sensor according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  4. Reassemble the tire onto the wheel and balance it as necessary.

5. Recheck System Functionality

  1. After reinstallation, use an OBD-II scanner to check for any remaining error codes.
  2. Clear any codes if necessary and ensure the TPMS light is off after the reset.

Verification

After completing the repair, verify that the issue has been resolved:

  • Test the affected component to ensure it functions correctly
  • Check for any error codes or warning lights
  • Monitor the vehicle for a few days to ensure the issue does not recur

Prevention Tips

To prevent this issue from occurring again:

  • •Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule
  • •Address warning signs early before they develop into major issues
  • •Use quality parts and fluids recommended for your vehicle
  • •Keep detailed records of all repairs and maintenance

Tools & Equipment Required
