Solution
1. Preparation
  • Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, air compressor, TPMS reset tool (if needed)
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the tires are cool for accurate readings.
2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure
  1. Remove the valve cap from each tire.
  2. Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
  3. Compare the readings to the recommended tire pressure found on the driver’s side door jamb.
  4. If any tire is below the recommended pressure, use an air compressor to inflate the tire to the correct pressure.
  5. Re-check the tire pressure after inflation to ensure it meets specifications.
  6. Replace the valve caps securely after checking.
3. Inspect Tires
  1. Visually inspect each tire for signs of punctures, cuts, or other damage.
  2. Check the tread depth using a tread depth gauge or the penny test.
  3. If any tire appears damaged or excessively worn, consider replacing the tire.
4. Reset the TPMS
  1. Navigate to the 'Service' menu on the Tesla touchscreen.
  2. Select 'Tire Pressure Monitoring' and choose the option to reset the TPMS.
  3. Confirm the reset and wait for the system to recalibrate.
  4. Drive the vehicle for a short distance to allow the system to update.
