Component
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Repair Time
1-2 hours

Safety Warnings

  • ⚠Always work on tires when the vehicle is securely lifted and supported by jack stands.
  • ⚠Allow tires to cool before checking pressures to ensure accurate readings.

Symptoms

  • •Tire pressure warning light illuminated on the dashboard
  • •Fluctuating tire pressure readings
  • •Tire pressure loss in one or more tires
  • •Uneven tire wear
  • •Poor handling or ride comfort

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Scan the vehicle’s TPMS for any stored error codes using an OBD-II scanner.
  2. 2Inspect all tires for visible damage, punctures, or foreign objects.
  3. 3Check tire pressures using a reliable tire pressure gauge, ensuring all tires are inflated to manufacturer specifications.
  4. 4Verify that the TPMS sensors are functioning correctly by checking for any malfunction indicators.
  5. 5Assess the TPMS system for battery life in the sensors, particularly if the vehicle is new and the light persists.
  6. 6Inspect the tire valve stems for damage or leaks which may affect pressure readings.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather tools: OBD-II scanner, tire pressure gauge, jack, jack stands, and a lug wrench.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is off.

2. Tire Pressure Adjustment

  • a. Check Tire Pressures

    • Remove valve caps from each tire.
    • Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
    • Inflate or deflate tires to match the recommended PSI specified on the driver’s door jamb.
  • b. Replace Valve Stems if Necessary

    • If valve stems are damaged, use a lug wrench to remove the tire and replace the valve stem with a new one.
    • Reinstall the tire and torque lug nuts to the manufacturer's specifications.

3. TPMS Sensor Inspection

  • a. Inspect Sensors

    • Check each TPMS sensor for visible damage.
    • If a sensor is faulty, replace it by removing the tire and using a tool to detach the sensor from the rim.
  • b. Reprogram Sensors

    • If sensors have been replaced, use the OBD-II scanner to reprogram the TPMS system to recognize new sensors.

4. Reset TPMS Light

  • After making any adjustments or replacements, reset the TPMS light by following the vehicle’s specific reset procedure, usually found in the owner’s manual.

Verification

After completing the repair, verify that the issue has been resolved:

  • Test the affected component to ensure it functions correctly
  • Check for any error codes or warning lights
  • Monitor the vehicle for a few days to ensure the issue does not recur
