Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools: Tire pressure gauge, air compressor, and OBD-II scanner (if needed).
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the tires are cool to the touch.
  • Disconnect the battery if you plan to work on the TPMS sensors.
2. Inflate Tires
  • Use the tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of each tire.
  • Inflate any under-inflated tires to the manufacturer's recommended pressure (usually found on the driver’s door jamb).
  • Adjust tire pressure as necessary for each tire.
3. Inspect Tires
  • Perform a thorough visual inspection of each tire for punctures, cracks, or other damage.
  • If any tire is damaged, replace it or repair it as necessary.
4. Reset TPMS
  • If all tires are correctly inflated and undamaged, navigate to the vehicle's settings.
  • Locate the TPMS reset option in the menu and follow the prompts to reset the system.
  • If necessary, use an OBD-II scanner to clear any error codes related to the TPMS.
5. Recheck Tire Pressure
  • After resetting the TPMS, recheck the tire pressures to ensure they are still at the recommended levels.
  • Observe the tire pressure warning light after resetting; it should turn off if all issues are resolved.
