Vehicles With Non Matching Full Size Spare Or Com-
pact Spare
The non matching full size spare or compact spare tire
does not have a TPM sensor. Therefore, the TPMS will
not monitor the pressure in the non matching full size
spare or compact spare tire.
If you install the non matching full size spare or
compact spare tire in place of a road tire that has a
pressure below the low-pressure warning limit, upon
the next ignition switch cycle, the TPM Telltale Light
and a “LOW TIRE” message will remain ON and a
chime will sound. In addition, the graphic in the
EVIC/DID will still display a flashing pressure value
or a pressure value in a different color.
After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h), the TPM Telltale Light will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid. In
addition, the EVIC/DID will display a SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM message for a minimum of five seconds and
then display dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value.
For each subsequent ignition switch cycle, a chime will
sound, the TPM Telltale Light will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on solid, and the EVIC/
DID will display a SERVICE TPM SYSTEM message
for a minimum of five seconds and then display
dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value.
Once you repair or replace the original road tire and
reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the non matching full
size spare or compact spare, the TPMS will update
automatically. In addition, the TPM Telltale Light will
turn OFF and the graphic in the EVIC/DID will display a
new pressure value instead of dashes (- -), as long as no
tire pressure is below the low-pressure warning limit in
any of the four active road tires. The vehicle may need to
be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h)
in order for the TPMS to receive this information.
