Solution

1. Preparation

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

2. Check Tire Pressure

Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in all tires, including the spare.
Inflate or deflate tires as needed to match the recommended pressure stated on the driver's door jamb.

3. Inspect and Replace TPMS Sensors (if necessary)

Remove Tire:
- Loosen lug nuts using a socket wrench and remove the wheel.
- Use a jack to lift the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
Remove TPMS Sensor:
- Detach the tire from the rim using a tire machine or manual tire levers if available.
- Locate the TPMS sensor and disconnect the battery connection.
- Unscrew and remove the sensor from the tire.
Install New Sensor:
- Install a new TPMS sensor in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
- Ensure that the sensor is properly seated and secured.
Reassemble Tire:
- Re-mount the tire onto the rim, ensuring it's properly sealed.
- Reinstall the wheel onto the vehicle and hand-tighten the lug nuts.

4. Reset TPMS

Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found under the steering column or on the dashboard.
Press and hold the reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release it.
Start the vehicle and allow it to run for a few minutes. The TPMS light should turn off.
