Safety Warnings

  • ⚠Always ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface before checking or adjusting tire pressures.

Symptoms

  • •Tire pressure warning light illuminated on the dashboard
  • •Inconsistent tire pressure readings
  • •Possible low tire pressure in one or more tires
  • •Warning message on the multi-information display

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Check the tire pressure in all four tires using a tire pressure gauge.
  2. 2Inflate or deflate the tires to the recommended PSI as specified on the driver's side door jamb label.
  3. 3Verify that there are no leaks or damage to the tires that could affect pressure readings.
  4. 4Ensure the vehicle is at a complete stop and in the 'On' position (engine running or accessory mode).
  5. 5Locate the TPMS reset button under the steering column or near the driver's side footwell.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools: Tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed), and owner's manual for reference.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface with the engine running or in accessory mode.

2. Adjust Tire Pressures

  • Sub-step 1: Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
  • Sub-step 2: Inflate or deflate each tire to match the recommended pressure (usually between 30-35 PSI for most passenger vehicles).
  • Sub-step 3: After adjustments, double-check the pressures again to ensure they are correct.

3. Reset the TPMS

  • Sub-step 1: With the vehicle in "On" position, press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release the button.
  • Sub-step 2: Start the vehicle and allow it to run for a few minutes to ensure the TPMS recognizes the new tire pressures.
  • Sub-step 3: Turn the vehicle off and then restart to verify that the tire pressure warning light remains off.

Verification

After completing the repair, verify that the issue has been resolved:

  • Test the affected component to ensure it functions correctly
  • Check for any error codes or warning lights
  • Monitor the vehicle for a few days to ensure the issue does not recur

  • •Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule
  • •Address warning signs early before they develop into major issues
  • •Use quality parts and fluids recommended for your vehicle
  • •Keep detailed records of all repairs and maintenance
