Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor, OBD-II scanner (if needed), and a socket set for sensor adjustments.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure
  • Sub-step 1: Remove the valve stem caps from each tire.
  • Sub-step 2: Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
  • Sub-step 3: Refer to the vehicle’s owner manual or the sticker located on the driver’s side door jamb for the recommended tire pressure.
  • Sub-step 4: If any tire is below the recommended pressure, use the air compressor to inflate it to the correct level.
  • Sub-step 5: Replace the valve stem caps securely after checking the pressure.
3. Inspect and Repair Tires
  • Sub-step 1: Visually inspect each tire for bulges, cuts, or punctures.
  • Sub-step 2: If any damage is found, consider patching the tire or replacing it as necessary.
  • Sub-step 3: If the tire pressure light remains illuminated after adjustments, proceed to check the TPMS sensors for faults.
4. TPMS Sensor Check
  • Sub-step 1: If equipped, check the TPMS sensor operation using an OBD-II scanner to read fault codes.
  • Sub-step 2: Replace or reprogram any faulty TPMS sensors as needed.
