Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools and parts.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner, socket set.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressures

Use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure in each tire.
Compare readings to the specifications listed on the driver's side door jamb.
Inflate or deflate tires as necessary to reach the recommended PSI.

3. Reset TPMS

Locate the TPMS reset button (usually under the steering wheel or in the glove compartment).
Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (do not start the engine).
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release it.
Start the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes; the system should recalibrate.

4. Replace Faulty TPMS Sensors (if necessary)

If a sensor is faulty, raise the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
Remove the tire from the wheel using a tire removal tool.
Replace the defective TPMS sensor with a new one, ensuring it is properly seated.
Reinstall the tire and check for proper balance before lowering the vehicle.
