Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Park the vehicle on a flat surface and engage the parking brake.
2. Adjust Tire Pressure
  1. Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
  2. Inflate the tires to the recommended pressure using an air compressor.
    • Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, air compressor.
  3. If any tire is over-inflated, release air until the correct pressure is reached.
3. Inspect and Repair Tires
  1. If any tire shows damage or wear, remove the affected tire using a lug wrench.
  2. Inspect for punctures or sidewall damage.
    • If a puncture is found, consider using a tire repair kit or consult a professional for a patch.
    • If the tire is damaged beyond repair, replace it with a new one.
    • Tools Required: Lug wrench, tire repair kit (if applicable), jack.
4. Reset TPMS (if necessary)
  1. After adjusting the tire pressures, turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
  2. Locate and press the TPMS reset button, usually found under the steering wheel or in the glove box, until the light blinks three times.
  3. Start the vehicle and check if the tire pressure light has turned off.
