Solution

1. Preparation

Gather tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor, torque wrench, OBD-II scanner (optional).
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the tires are cold for accurate pressure readings.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressures

Sub-steps:
1. Remove the valve caps from each tire.
2. Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire.
3. Compare the readings to the manufacturer’s recommended pressures (found on the driver’s door jamb).
4. Inflate or deflate tires as necessary using an air compressor or tire deflator.
5. Replace the valve caps securely after adjustments.

3. Inspect Tires

Sub-steps:
1. Visually inspect each tire for punctures, cracks, or bulges.
2. Check for any signs of uneven wear that may indicate alignment issues.
3. If damage is found, replace the tire or consult a professional for repairs.

4. Reset TPMS

Sub-steps:
1. Turn on the vehicle and ensure all tire pressures are correct.
2. Locate the TPMS reset button (usually under the steering column or in the glove box).
3. Press and hold the reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release.
4. Drive the vehicle for a short distance to ensure the light turns off.

5. Check for Fault Codes

Sub-steps:
1. Connect the OBD-II scanner to the vehicle's diagnostic port.
2. Scan for any fault codes related to the TPMS system.
3. If codes are present, follow the specific troubleshooting steps for those codes.
