Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light will illuminate in the instrument cluster, an
audible chime will be activated, and the “Check
tire pressure” message will display when one or
more of the four active road tire pressures are
low. Should this occur, you should stop as soon
as possible, check the inflation pressure of
each tire on your vehicle, and inflate each tire to
the vehicle’s recommended cold placard
pressure value. The system will automatically
update and the Tire Pressure Monitoring Light
will extinguish once the updated tire pressures
have been received. The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h) to receive this information.
Check TPMS Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and
remain on solid when a system fault is detected,
an audible chime will be activated and the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Unavailable” message will
display. If the ignition key is cycled, this
sequence will repeat providing the system fault
still exists. The TPMS Warning Light will turn off
when the fault condition no longer exists. A
system fault can occur with any of the following
scenarios:
Jamming due to electronic devices or driving
next to facilities emitting the same radio
frequencies as the TPM sensors
Installing some form of aftermarket window
tinting that affects radio wave signals
Snow or ice around the wheels or wheel
housings
Using tire chains on the vehicle
Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM
sensors
NOTE:
Your vehicle is equipped with a regular size
spare wheel.
1. The spare tire does not have a TPM sensor.
Therefore, the TPMS will not monitor the
pressure in the spare tire.
2. If a spare tire not equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring sensor is used, the
TPMS Warning Light will turn on, flashing for
75 seconds and then remaining solid for
each subsequent ignition key cycle.
3. Once you repair or replace the original road
tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of
the spare tire, the TPMS will update
automatically and the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Light will extinguish once the
updated tire pressures have been received.
The vehicle may need to be driven for up to
20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) to
receive this information.
NOTE:
For correct Tire Pressure Monitoring behavior,
please wait for about 20 minutes in key-off
during each tire substitution.
