TPMS (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator
OIK083054
The TPMS Malfunction Indicator will
illuminate after it blinks for about one
minute when there is a problem with the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
Have the system checked by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products as soon as possible.
If there is a malfunction with the TPMS,
the Low Tire Pressure Position Telltale will
not be displayed even though the vehicle
has an under-inflated tire.
The TPMS Malfunction Indicator may
illuminate after blinking for one minute if
the vehicle is near electric power supply
cables or radio transmitters such as police
stations, government and public offices,
broadcasting stations, military
installations, airports, transmitting
towers, etc.
Additionally, the TPMS Malfunction
Indicator may illuminate if snow chains
are used or electronic devices such as
computers, chargers, remote starters,
navigation, etc. This may interfere with
normal operation of the TPMS.
Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure and Position telltales will come
on. Have the flat tire repaired by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products as soon as possible or replace
the flat tire with the spare tire.
It is recommended that you do not use a
puncture-repairing agent not approved
by an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products to repair and/or inflate
a low pressure tire. Tire sealant not
approved by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products may damage
the tire pressure sensor.
The spare tire (if equipped) does not
come with a tire pressure monitoring
sensor. When the low pressure tire or the
flat tire is replaced with the spare tire, the
Low Tire Pressure Telltale will remain on.
Also, the TPMS Malfunction Indicator will
illuminate after blinking for one minute if
the vehicle is driven at speed above 15.5
mph (25 km/h) for about 10 minutes.
Once the original tire equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring sensor is reinflated
to the recommended pressure and
reinstalled on the vehicle, the Low Tire
Pressure Telltale and TPMS Malfunction
Indicator will go off within a few minutes
of driving.
If the indicators do not extinguish after a
few minutes, please visit an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the tire
behind the valve stem (except for the
spare tire). You must use TPMS specific
wheels. It is recommended that you
always have your tires serviced by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
You may not be able to identify a tire with
low pressure by simply looking at it.
