Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools including a tire pressure gauge and an OBD-II scanner.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and is safe to work on.
2. Check Tire Pressure
  • Use a tire pressure gauge to check the air pressure in all four tires.
  • Compare the measured pressure against the recommended specifications found on the driver’s side door jamb.
  • If any tire is below the recommended pressure, inflate it to the correct level.
3. Inspect TPMS Sensors
  • If tire pressures are correct, visually inspect the TPMS sensors located on each tire's valve stem.
  • Look for signs of damage or corrosion.
  • If damage is found, the specific TPMS sensor may need to be replaced.
4. Reset TPMS Light
  • With the vehicle running, locate the TPMS reset button (usually located under the steering column or in the glove compartment).
  • Press and hold the reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release it.
  • Drive the vehicle for about 10 minutes to allow the system to recalibrate.
5. Replace TPMS Sensors (if necessary)
  • If the TPMS light remains on after checking tire pressures and resetting the system, consider replacing faulty TPMS sensors.
  • To replace, remove the tire from the wheel, unscrew the old sensor, and install the new sensor in reverse order, ensuring it is properly sealed.
