Tire Pressure Monitoring System Low
Pressure Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Warning Light will illuminate in the instru-
ment cluster when tire pressure is low in one
or more of the four active road tires. The
instrument cluster will display a graphic showing the
pressure values of each tire with the low tire pressure
values in a different color. An "Inflate to XX" message
will also be displayed.
Should this occur, you should stop as soon as possible and
inflate the tires with a low pressure condition (those in a
different color in the instrument cluster graphic) to the
vehicle’s recommended cold placard pressure inflation
value shown in the "Inflate to XX" message. Once the sys-
tem receives the updated tire pressures, the system will
automatically update, the graphic display in the instrument
cluster will return to its original color, and the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Warning Light will turn 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.
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 placard pressure in order to
turn the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light
off.
Service TPMS Warning
If a system fault is detected, the Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing System Warning Light will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on solid. In addition, the
instrument cluster will display a "SERVICE TPM SYS-
TEM" message for a minimum of five seconds and then
display dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value to
indicate which sensor is not being received.
If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will repeat,
providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault
no longer exists, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Warning Light will no longer flash, and the "SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM" message will no longer display, and a
pressure value will display in place of the dashes. A
system fault can occur due to any of the following:
•
Signal interference due to electronic devices or driv-
ing next to facilities emitting the same radio fre-
quencies as the TPMS sensors.
•
Installing aftermarket window tinting that contains
materials that may block radio wave signals.
•
Accumulation of snow or ice around the wheels or
wheel housings.
•
Using tire chains on the vehicle.
•
Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS
sensors.
A system fault may occur due to an incorrect TPMS sen-
sor location condition. When a system fault occurs due
to an incorrect TPMS sensor location, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Warning Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds and then remain on solid. The system
fault will also sound a chime. In addition, the instru-
ment cluster will display a “Tire Pressure Temporarily
Unavailable” message in place of the tire pressure dis-
play screen. If the ignition switch is cycled, this
sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still
exists. If the system fault no longer exists, the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System Warning Light will no longer
flash and the tire pressure display screen will be dis-
played showing the tire pressure values in the correct
locations.
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 TPMS 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 TPMS Warning
Light and a “LOW TIRE” message will remain on and
a chime will sound. In addition, the graphic in the
instrument cluster will still display a pressure value
in a different color and an “Inflate to XX” message.
•
After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h), the TPMS Warning Light will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on
solid. In addition, the instrument cluster will display
a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message for a minimum
of five seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place
of the pressure value.
