Safety Warnings

  • ⚠Always wear safety glasses when working with compressed air.
  • ⚠Ensure vehicle is stable and parked on a level surface before making adjustments.

Symptoms

  • •Tire pressure warning light remains illuminated on the dashboard
  • •Possible fluctuation in tire pressure readings
  • •Vehicle handling issues due to improper tire pressure
  • •Potential drop in fuel efficiency

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Verify the current tire pressures using a reliable tire pressure gauge.
  2. 2Inspect each tire for visible damage or signs of air loss (e.g., punctures, cracks).
  3. 3Check the spare tire, if equipped, to ensure it is adequately inflated.
  4. 4Ensure that the tire valves are not leaking and are in good condition.
  5. 5Confirm that the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is functioning by checking for any error codes using an OBD-II scanner.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if needed), and OBD-II scanner (optional).
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is turned off.

2. Adjust Tire Pressures

  • Sub-step 1: Remove valve caps from all tires.
  • Sub-step 2: Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the tire pressure of each tire.
  • Sub-step 3: Inflate or deflate each tire to the manufacturer-recommended pressure (typically found on the driver’s side door jamb).
  • Sub-step 4: Replace the valve caps securely after adjustments.

3. Reset the TPMS

  • Sub-step 1: Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
  • Sub-step 2: Locate the TPMS reset button (usually found beneath the steering column or near the fuse box).
  • Sub-step 3: Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
  • Sub-step 4: Start the vehicle and allow it to run for a few minutes. The TPMS light should turn off if the system is reset successfully.

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
