Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools and parts.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Turn off the ignition and remove the key.

2. Check Tire Pressures

Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in all tires.
Inflate or deflate tires to the manufacturer’s specified pressure (found on the driver’s side door jamb).

3. Inspect and Replace TPMS Sensors

Tools Required: Tire iron, TPMS sensor tool, jack, jack stands.
Raise the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
Remove the wheels using a tire iron.
Inspect each TPMS sensor for damage. If any sensors are damaged:
- Use a TPMS sensor tool to remove the faulty sensor from the valve stem.
- Install a new TPMS sensor by reversing the removal process.
- Ensure the sensor is properly seated and secured.

4. Reset TPMS

With the ignition in the "ON" position (engine not running), press the TPMS reset button (if equipped) until the TPMS light blinks three times and then turns off.
Alternatively, navigate to the TPMS reset option in the vehicle’s settings menu and follow the prompts.

5. Test the System

Lower the vehicle and perform a test drive to ensure that the TPMS light does not re-illuminate.
Check the dashboard for any error messages or warnings.
