258 Vehicle Care
The low tire pressure warning light may come
o
n
in cool weather when the vehicle is first
started, and then turn off as the vehicle is
driven. This could be an early indicator that
the air pressure is getting low and needs to be
inflated to the proper pressure.
A Tire and Loading Information label shows the
size of the original equipment tires and the
correct inflation pressure for the tires when
they are cold. See Vehicle Load Limits 3 160, for
an example of the Tire and Loading Information
label and its location. Also see Tire Pressure
3255.
The TPMS can warn about alow tire pressure
condition but it does not replace normal tire
maintenance. See Tire Inspection 3260, Tire
Rotation 3260, and Tires 3249.
Caution
Tire sealant materials are not all the same.
A

non-approved tire sealant could damage
the TPMS sensors. TPMS sensor damage
caused by using an incorrect tire sealant
is not covered by the vehicle warranty.

Caution (Continued)
Always use only the GM approved tire
sealant available through your dealer or
included in the vehicle.
TPMS Malfunction Light and Message
Th
e TPMS will not function properly if one
or more of the TPMS sensors are missing
or inoperable. When the system detects
amalfunction, the low tire pressure warning
light flashes for about one minute and then
stays on for the remainder of the time
the vehicle is on. ADIC warning message
also displays. The malfunction light and DIC
warning message will come on each time
the vehicle is turned on until the problem is
corrected. Some of the conditions that can
cause these to come on are:
•
One of the road tires has been replaced with
the spare tire. The spare tire does not have
aTPMS sensor. The malfunction light and
the DIC message should go off after the road
tire is replaced and the sensor matching
process is performed successfully. See
"TPMS Sensor Matching Process — Auto
Learn Function" later in this section.
•
Th
e TPMS sensor matching process was
not done or not completed successfully
after rotating the tires. The malfunction
light and the DIC message should go off
after successfully completing the sensor
matching process. See "TPMS Sensor
Matching Process — Auto Learn Function"
later in this section.
•
One or more TPMS sensors are missing
or damaged. The malfunction light and
the DIC message should go off when
the TPMS sensors are installed and the
sensor matching process is performed
successfully. See your dealer for service.
•
Replacement tires or wheels do not
match the original equipment tires or
wheels. Tires and wheels other than those
recommended could prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. See Buying New
Tires 3262.
•
Operating electronic devices or being near
facilities using radio wave frequencies
similar to the TPMS could cause the TPMS
sensors to malfunction.
