NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check
the tire pressure in all of the tires on your
vehicle monthly and to maintain the proper
pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following compo-
nents:
• Receiver Module.
• Four Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors.
• Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light.
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warn-
ings
The “Tire Pressure Monitoring Tell-
tale Light” will illuminate in the in-
strument cluster, a “LOW TIRE
PRESSURE” message will display in the in-
strument cluster, an "Inflate to XX" message
will be displayed and a chime will sound
when tire pressure is low in one or more of the
four active road tires. 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 recom-
mended cold placard pressure value as
shown in the "Inflate to XX" message. Once
the system receives the updated tire pres-
sures, the system will automatically update
and the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light” will turn off.
NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may
need to be increased up to an additional 4 psi
(28 kPa) above the recommended cold plac-
ard pressure in order to turn the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light off. 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.
Service TPMS Warning
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, providing 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 driv-
ing next to facilities emitting the same
radio frequencies as the TPMS sensors.
• Installing some form of aftermarket window
tinting that affects radio wave signals.
• Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or
wheel housings.
• Using tire chains on the vehicle.
• Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS
sensors.
Vehicles With Compact Spare or non-Matching
Full Size Spare
1. The compact spare tire or non-matching
full size spare tire does not have a tire
pressure monitoring sensor. Therefore,
the TPMS will not monitor the pressure in
the spare tire.
2. If you install the compact or non-
matching full size spare tire in place of a
road tire that has a pressure below the
low-pressure warning limit, a chime will
sound and the “TPMS Telltale Light” and
“LOW TIRE PRESSURE” and "Inflate to
XX" messages will turn on upon the next
ignition cycle.
