Has anyone experienced those funny annoying noises you hear from your door lock mechanism? Well, here's the fix for it. The noise comes from the two bolts that are located in your mounting hole area when they're loose. To have it fixed, get a 10mm socket and ratchet wrench, use it to tighten the two bolts located in your mounting hole area, and that's it. Funny annoying noise gone. Tip: I did put a tad bit of Loctite on each one to be safe. You can also do the same too.

Heard some owners complain about getting TPMS warnings after rotating their tires, which ends up disrupting monitoring. There's a fix for that, which I'd share on this thread.

The first thing to do is to locate your reset button, which is near the hood release under your dash. Just hold it for 5 seconds until the TPMS light blinks three times, which would signal reset mode. Once it's on reset mode, just drive for about 10 to 15 miles at 25 to 50 mph. This would recalibrate your sensors automatically.

If the light persists, all you need to do is to verify your pressure with a digital gauge. Tire Pressure recommended for this is 32 psi. This process takes nothing more than 15 minutes, and the best part is, it requires no tools at all.

A helpful tip, it's best to recheck your TPMS monthly, which would help you avoid fake alerts on your dash. Also, you might want to keep a gauge for frequent rotations, as it might come in handy. This would help you to confirm your tire pressure post reset.

Hope to share more hacks and tips on the forum so other owners can benefit from it and keep their vehicles in the best of shape.
