Safety Warnings

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

Symptoms

  • •Tire pressure warning light is illuminated on the dashboard.
  • •Tire pressure readings may be inaccurate or indicate low pressure.
  • •Possible decrease in fuel efficiency due to under-inflated tires.
  • •Vehicle may exhibit uneven tire wear.

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Ensure all tires are properly inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure.
  2. 2Check the spare tire to see if it has a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor and is also inflated correctly.
  3. 3Use an OBD-II scanner to check for any stored TPMS error codes.
  4. 4If applicable, inspect the TPMS sensors for any damage or corrosion.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather the necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, owner’s manual for tire pressure specifications, and possibly an OBD-II scanner if error codes are present.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and that the engine is turned off.

2. Inflate Tires

  • Use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of each tire.
  • Inflate any under-inflated tires to the recommended pressure, which can be found on the driver’s side door jamb sticker.

3. Reset the TPMS

  1. Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found beneath the steering wheel or in the glove compartment.
  2. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
  3. Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
  4. Start the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes to complete the reset process.

4. Verify Operation

  • After resetting, check that the tire pressure light turns off after a short drive.
  • If the light remains on, repeat the reset process and ensure all tire pressures are correct.

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

Prevention Tips

To prevent this issue from occurring again:

  • •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

Tools & Equipment Required

  • Tire pressure gauge
  • OBD-II scanner

Parts Required
