Solution
1. Preparation
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the ignition is in the "On" position.
  • Gather necessary tools, including a tire pressure gauge.
  • Check the recommended tire pressures located on the driver's door jamb sticker.
2. Inflate Tires to Recommended Pressure
  • Using the tire pressure gauge, check the pressure in each tire.
  • If any tire is below the recommended pressure, inflate it to the specified PSI using an air compressor.
  • Repeat for all tires as needed.
3. Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
  • On the Tesla touchscreen, navigate to "Controls."
  • Select "Service" and then choose "TPMS Reset."
  • Confirm the reset action when prompted.
4. Verify System Status
  • After resetting, check for any warning messages or alerts on the Tesla display.
  • Drive the vehicle for a short distance (about 5-10 minutes) to ensure the system recalibrates.
