why does my Tesla Model 3 Highland (2024-present) display a "low tire pressure" warning

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor, soapy water solution, and a jack if needed.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and has been stationary for at least 30 minutes to allow tires to cool.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

• Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the current pressure of each tire.
• Compare the readings with the recommended tire pressure (found on the door jamb).
• If any tire is below the recommended pressure, use an air compressor to inflate it to the correct level.
  • Tip: Inflate tires slowly and check pressure frequently.
• If the pressure is above the recommended level, release some air until it reaches the correct level.

3. Inspect Tires for Damage

• Examine each tire visually for punctures, cracks, or bulges.
• If damage is found, consult a tire professional for repair or replacement.

4. Reset TPMS

• If tire pressures have been adjusted, reset the TPMS through the Tesla interface:
  • Navigate to Settings > Service > Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
  • Follow the prompts to reset the system.

5. Recheck Tire Pressure

• After adjustments and resets, recheck the tire pressures to ensure they are consistent and correct.
• Drive the vehicle for a short distance to allow the TPMS to recalibrate.
