Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools and equipment.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is off.
Safety warning: Always wear protective gloves and eyewear when working on tires.

2. Check and Inflate Tires

Sub-steps:
1. Remove valve caps from all tires.
2. Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire.
3. Inflate any tire that is below the recommended pressure to the correct level as specified on the driver’s side door jamb.
4. Replace valve caps securely after checking.

3. Reset TPMS

Sub-steps:
1. Turn the vehicle's ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine.
2. Navigate to the TPMS reset function through the infotainment system settings.
3. Follow prompts to reset the TPMS. This may involve confirming the reset or selecting "Yes" on-screen.
4. Turn off the ignition and then start the engine to check if the TPMS light has turned off.

4. Replace TPMS Sensors (if necessary)

Sub-steps:
1. Remove the wheel from the vehicle using a socket set and a jack.
2. Detach the tire from the wheel rim using a tire machine (if available) or manually with tire levers.
3. Remove the faulty TPMS sensor from inside the tire.
4. Install the new TPMS sensor by inserting it through the valve stem and securing it according to the manufacturer's instructions.
5. Reassemble the tire onto the wheel and inflate it to the correct pressure.
6. Reinstall the wheel onto the vehicle, ensuring lug nuts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications.
