quence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminat-
ed, the system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended . TPMS
malfunct ions may occur for a variety of rea-
sons, including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tires or wheels on the vehi-
cle that prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly . Always check the TPMS malfunction
tellta le after replacing one or more t ires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the re-
placement or alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
