⚠️ Safety Warnings

Important safety information - read before proceeding

•Always check tire pressure when tires are cold for accurate readings.
•Ensure the vehicle is parked safely before performing any maintenance.

Symptoms

•Tire pressure warning light is illuminated on the dashboard
•Possible decrease in tire performance or handling
•Warning message on the display indicating low tire pressure
•Potential for a rough ride due to under-inflated tires

Diagnostic Steps

1
Check the tire pressures using a tire pressure gauge to ensure they are at the recommended PSI specified in the owner's manual or on the driver's side door jamb.
2
Inspect the tires visually for any signs of damage or punctures.
3
Use the Tesla touchscreen to navigate to the 'Service' menu and select 'Tire Pressure' to view individual tire pressures.
4
If any tire is found to be low, inflate it to the recommended pressure.
5
If all tires are properly inflated but the light remains on, perform a TPMS reset using the vehicle’s touchscreen settings.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed), and Tesla key fob or mobile app for access.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface with the ignition in the "On" position.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

Sub-steps:
1. Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the current pressure of each tire.
2. Refer to the owner's manual or the tire placard for the recommended tire pressure.
3. If any tire is below the recommended pressure, use an air compressor to inflate it to the correct PSI.
4. Recheck the pressure with the gauge after inflating.

3. Reset the TPMS

Sub-steps:
1. On the Tesla touchscreen, navigate to "Service."
2. Select "Tire Pressure."
3. Confirm that the pressures are correct and tap on "Reset TPMS" if necessary.
4. Wait for the system to recalibrate, which may take a few minutes.
