  • •Potential decrease in fuel efficiency
  • •Noticeable tire deflation or bulging
  • •Vehicle handling issues such as drifting or pulling
  • •Increased road noise from tires

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Check the tire pressure of all four tires using a tire pressure gauge.
  2. 2Inspect each tire for visible damage, punctures, or foreign objects.
  3. 3Verify that the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is functioning correctly using an OBD-II scanner.
  4. 4Inspect the valve stems for leaks or damage.
  5. 5Examine the TPMS sensors for battery life and proper installation.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, air compressor, OBD-II scanner, jack, jack stands, tire repair kit (if needed).
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Remove valve caps from each tire.
    2. Use the tire pressure gauge to check the pressure of each tire.
    3. Compare the readings to the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure (found on the driver’s door jamb).
    4. Inflate any under-inflated tires using an air compressor to the correct pressure.
    5. Replace the valve caps securely.

3. Inspect Tires for Damage

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Visually inspect each tire for cuts, punctures, or other damage.
    2. If a puncture is found, use a tire repair kit to seal small punctures or take the tire to a professional for repair if the damage is severe.
    3. Check the tread depth; replace tires if tread is below the legal limit.

4. Reset the TPMS

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
    2. Press and hold the TPMS reset button (usually located under the steering column or in the glove compartment) until the TPMS light blinks three times.
    3. Start the vehicle and allow a few minutes for the system to recalibrate.

Verification

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

  • Test the affected component to ensure it functions correctly
