2
Look for any visible damage or punctures on the tires.
3
Inspect the valve stems for leaks or damage.
4
Examine the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor for faults.
5

Solution

1. Preparation

Gather tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor, jack, jack stands, and a wrench.
Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

Remove the valve cap from each tire.
Use the tire pressure gauge to check the current pressure.
Refer to the vehicle's door jamb sticker for the recommended tire pressure.
If the pressure is low, use an air compressor to inflate the tire to the recommended level.
Recheck the tire pressure after inflating.

3. Inspect and Repair Tires

Visually inspect each tire for punctures or abnormal wear.
If damage is found, consider repairing or replacing the tire as necessary.
If valve stems are damaged or leaking, replace them.

4. Reset the TPMS

Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Locate the TPMS reset button (usually under the steering wheel or in the glove compartment).
Press and hold the reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release it.
Start the vehicle and check if the TPMS warning light is off.
