Follow these steps carefully
Check pressures on cold tires — the car sat at least three hours or was driven less than a mile. Press the gauge onto each stem, record four readings, and compare with the cold-inflation pressures on the driver's door-jamb sticker — never the sidewall maximum.
Add air to any tire below its sticker pressure and release air from any above it, re-checking until each matches. Press the valve caps back on finger-tight. While each wheel is accessible, inspect the tires for cuts, bulges, embedded nails, and uneven wear.
Set the parking brake and chock the wheels. Loosen each lug nut half a turn on the ground, then raise one end at a factory lift point onto rated jack stands. Move front wheels straight back and cross rear wheels to the opposite front corners.
Never, ever get under a car that's sitting on just a jack — I've seen jacks let go. Rated stands on a flat surface, every single time.
Set each wheel on its hub and snug lug nuts in a star pattern. Finish with a torque wrench to the owner's manual spec in the same star pattern — a guessed number can warp rotors or strip studs. Re-check tightness after about 50 miles.
My shop rule on these: Start every lug nut by hand before touching the wrench — cross-threading a stud turns a rotation into a tow-truck call.
The Ioniq's TPMS relearns itself — no reset button or menu procedure for a rotation. Drive about 20 minutes above roughly 20 mph with all tires at their door-jamb pressures, and the system detects each sensor's new position automatically.
I budget extra time for this: If the warning light stays on after the relearn drive, don't keep resetting things — with pressures confirmed right, that's a dying sensor, and a tire shop can read which one in about a minute.
Check the spare too — spares lose air sitting unused, and a flat spare is no help on the roadside. Inflate it to the door-jamb sticker pressure, or the sidewall pressure on a temporary spare. Make sure the hold-down or winch hardware moves freely.
Test-drive on a familiar road and feel for anything new — vibration, pulling, or thumping can mean a wheel was not seated flat on its hub. The TPMS warning should stay off. Once the tires have cooled, re-check all four cold pressures.
Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.
