  • •Incorrect tire pressure readings on the TPMS display
  • •Recent tire rotation or change of tires
  • •Tire pressure has been adjusted but light remains on

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Verify the tire pressures of all four tires using a reliable tire pressure gauge.
  2. 2Check for any visible damage or leaks in the tires.
  3. 3Inspect the TPMS sensors for any signs of malfunction or damage.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure that all tires are inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressures.

2. Resetting the TPMS

  1. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (do not start the engine).
  2. Locate the TPMS reset button: This is usually found under the steering wheel or near the fuse box.
  3. Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light blinks three times, then release the button.
  4. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. The light should turn off if the reset was successful.

3. Final Check

  • After resetting, drive the vehicle for a short distance (approximately 10-15 minutes) at speeds above 25 mph to allow the system to recalibrate and verify the reset.

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

  • •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
