Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner, TPMS reset tool (if needed).
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and turn off the engine.
Wear safety gloves and goggles as a precaution.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressures

Use the tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of each tire, including the spare.
Compare the readings with the recommended tire pressure found on the driver’s side door jamb.
Inflate or deflate each tire to the correct pressure as needed.
Recheck the pressure after adjusting.

3. Inspect and Replace TPMS Sensors (if necessary)

Remove each tire using a jack and jack stands, then take off the wheel.
Inspect the valve stems and TPMS sensors for any visible damage or corrosion.
If sensors are damaged, replace them by:
1. Unscrewing the valve stem nut.
2. Detaching the sensor from the wheel.
3. Installing a new sensor and securing it with the valve stem nut.
Repeat for each wheel as necessary.

4. Reset the TPMS

Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button (usually under the steering wheel or in the glove box).
Press and hold the reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release it.
Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to ensure the system recalibrates.

5. Recheck TPMS Light

After resetting, monitor the dashboard for the TPMS light.
If the light remains on, further diagnostics may be required.
