Component
Suspension
Repair Time
1-2 hours

Safety Warnings

  • ⚠Ensure the car is on a flat surface and secured before lifting with a jack.
  • ⚠Always wear safety goggles when working with tires and pressure systems.

Symptoms

  • •Low tire pressure warning light illuminated on the dashboard
  • •Tires may appear visibly deflated or under-inflated
  • •Increased fuel consumption
  • •Handling issues or rough ride quality
  • •Noise from tires during driving

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Inspect all tires visually for signs of damage, punctures, or low pressure.
  2. 2Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the air pressure in all four tires.
  3. 3Check the TPMS sensor functionality by using an OBD-II scanner to read fault codes.
  4. 4Inspect the TPMS sensors on each wheel for proper installation and damage.
  5. 5Verify if the vehicle has recently experienced temperature changes that could affect tire pressure.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is off.

2. Inflate Tires

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Remove the valve caps from each tire.
    2. Inflate each tire to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure (found on the driver’s side door jamb).
    3. Replace the valve caps securely after inflating.
  • Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, air compressor.

3. Reset TPMS (if necessary)

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Turn on the ignition without starting the engine.
    2. Locate the TPMS reset button (usually under the steering wheel) and press and hold it until the TPMS warning light blinks three times.
    3. Release the button and start the vehicle to check if the warning light goes off.
  • Tools Required: None.

4. Replace Damaged Tires or Sensors

  • Sub-steps:
    1. If any tire is damaged or worn beyond safe limits, remove it using a jack and a lug wrench.
    2. Replace with a new tire or repair as necessary.
    3. If TPMS sensors are damaged, remove the tire from the rim, replace the sensor, and reassemble.
  • Tools Required: Jack, lug wrench, tire iron.
