Important safety information - read before proceeding

•Ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface and that the parking brake is engaged before performing any work on the tires.

Symptoms

•TPMS warning light illuminated on the dashboard
•Tire pressure may be low or fluctuating
•Vehicle performance issues potentially due to incorrect tire pressure
•No prior service warning or indication before TPMS light activation
•Possible tire inflation discrepancies noted during visual inspection

Diagnostic Steps

1
Check the tire pressures of all four tires using a tire pressure gauge.
2
Inspect for any visible damage or punctures on the tires.
3
Verify that the spare tire (if equipped with a TPMS sensor) is also properly inflated.
4
Use an OBD-II scanner to check for any diagnostic trouble codes related to the TPMS.
5
Confirm that the TPMS sensors are functioning by ensuring they are properly installed and undamaged.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

Gather the necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner (if needed), and a tire inflator.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is turned off.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

Remove the valve caps from each tire.
Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire.
Inflate any tires that are below the recommended pressure level (found on the driver’s door jamb) using a tire inflator.
After inflating, recheck the tire pressure to ensure it is at the correct level.
Replace the valve caps securely on each tire.

3. Reset the TPMS Light

Turn on the ignition without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found under the steering wheel or in the glove box.
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release it.
Turn off the ignition and then start the engine to check if the TPMS light has turned off.

4. Verification

Monitor the TPMS light during a short drive to ensure it does not re-illuminate.
Check the tire pressures again after driving for a few miles to ensure they remain stable.
Confirm that the reset procedure was successful by observing the TPMS light behavior after the vehicle is turned on.
