⚠️ Safety Warnings

Important safety information - read before proceeding

•Always check tire pressures when the tires are cold for accurate readings.
•Ensure the vehicle is on a flat, stable surface when checking and adjusting tire pressures.

Symptoms

•Tire pressure warning light is illuminated on the dashboard
•Possible message on the display indicating low tire pressure
•Uneven tire wear (if not addressed)
•Reduced fuel efficiency (due to under-inflated tires)
•Handling issues (if tires are significantly under-inflated)

Diagnostic Steps

1
Verify that all tires, including the spare, are inflated to the recommended pressure as stated on the driver's side door jamb.
2
Check the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) for any fault codes using an OBD-II scanner.
3
Visually inspect the tires for any visible damage or punctures that could affect pressure.
4
Ensure the TPMS sensors are functioning correctly by checking for any signs of corrosion or damage.
5
Drive the vehicle at speeds above 30 mph for at least 10 minutes to reset the system if tire pressures are correct.

Solution

1. Preparation

Gather required tools and ensure the vehicle is in a safe location.
Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner (if checking for codes is necessary).

2. Check Tire Pressures

Using a tire pressure gauge, check the pressure of all four tires and the spare.
Inflate each tire to the recommended pressure if needed.

3. Reset the TPMS

Ensure the vehicle is in "On" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button (usually found beneath the steering column or near the fuse box).
Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release it.
Start the engine and allow the system to initialize.

4. Confirm Reset

Drive the vehicle for a few minutes to allow the TPMS to recalibrate.
Check that the tire pressure warning light has turned off.
