Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner, and a tire inflator.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the tires are cold for accurate pressure readings.
2. Check and Inflate Tires
  1. Remove valve caps from each tire.
  2. Use the tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of each tire.
  3. Compare the readings to the recommended pressure (usually found on the driver’s door jamb).
  4. If any tire is under-inflated, use the tire inflator to bring it to the recommended pressure.
  5. Replace the valve caps securely after inflating.
3. Inspect and Replace TPMS Sensors (if needed)
  1. If the tire pressure is correct and the light remains on, inspect each tire’s TPMS sensor.
  2. If the sensors are damaged or malfunctioning, remove the tire from the wheel using a tire machine.
  3. Replace the faulty TPMS sensor with a new one, following the manufacturer's specifications.
  4. Reinstall the tire and balance it as per standard procedures.
4. Reset TPMS
  1. Turn on the vehicle and navigate to the TPMS reset option in the vehicle's settings menu.
  2. Follow the prompts to initiate the TPMS reset process.
  3. If the reset option is not available, consult the vehicle’s manual for specific reset instructions.
