Diagnostic Steps

Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor, OBD-II scanner.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the tires are cold for accurate pressure readings.

2. Check Tire Pressures

Remove valve stem caps from all tires, including the spare.
Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
Compare the readings to the recommended PSI found on the driver’s side door jamb.

3. Inflate or Deflate Tires

If any tire is below the recommended PSI, use an air compressor to inflate it to the correct level.
If any tire is over-inflated, release air until it reaches the recommended PSI.

4. Inspect and Repair Tires

Visually inspect each tire for damage.
If any tires show signs of punctures or damage, repair or replace them as necessary.
Ensure the valve stems are not leaking.

5. Reset the TPMS

If tire pressures are corrected and no damage is found, reset the TPMS:
- Turn on the ignition without starting the engine.
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release it.
- Drive the vehicle for a short distance to verify if the TPMS light turns off.
