Caution!
The TPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been
established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Undesirable system operation
or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the
same size, type, and/or style. The TPM
sensor is not designed for use on
aftermarket wheels and may contribute to a
poor overall system performance or sensor
damage. Customers are encouraged to
use OEM wheels to assure proper TPM
feature operation.
Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) sensor to become inoperable. After
using an aftermarket tire sealant it is
recommended that you take your vehicle to
an authorized dealer to have your sensor
function checked.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure always reinstall the valve stem
cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt
from entering the valve stem, which could
damage the TPMS sensor.
INSUFFICIENT TIRE PRESSURE
INDICATION
If an insufficient pressure value is
detected on one or more tires, the
warning light in the instrument
cluster will display alongside the
dedicated messages, the system will
highlight the tire or tires with insufficient
pressure graphically, and an acoustic
signal will be emitted.
In this case, stop the vehicle, check the
inflation pressure of each tire, and
inflate the necessary tire or tires to the
correct cold inflation pressure value,
shown on the display or in the
dedicated TPMS menu.
TPMS TEMPORARILY DISABLED
TPMS Check Message
When a system fault is detected, the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light”
will flash on and off for 75 seconds, and
then remain on solid. The system fault
will also sound a chime. If the ignition is
cycled, this sequence will repeat,
provided that the system fault still
exists. The “Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light” will turn off when the fault
condition no longer exists. A system
fault can occur due to any of the
following:
Jamming due to electronic devices
or driving next to facilities emitting the
same radio frequencies as the TPMS
sensors.
Installing some form of aftermarket
window tinting that affects radio wave
signals.
Accumulation of snow or ice around
the wheels or wheel housings.
Using tire chains on the vehicle.
Using wheels/tires not equipped with
TPMS sensors.
After the punctured tire has been
repaired with the original tire sealant
contained in the Tire Repair Kit, the
previous condition must be restored so
that the
warning light is off during
normal driving.
TPMS Deactivation
The TPMS can be deactivated by
replacing all four wheel and tire
assemblies (road tires) with wheel and
tire assemblies that do not have TPMS
Sensors, such as when installing winter
wheel and tire assemblies on your
vehicle.
To deactivate the TPMS, first replace all
four wheel and tire assemblies (road
tires) with tires not equipped with Tire
Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensors.
Then, drive the vehicle for 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS
will chime, the "TPM Telltale Light" will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and
then remain on. The instrument cluster
will display the “SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM” message and then display
dashes (--) in place of the pressure
values.
