When a low tire pressure
condition is detected, the
TPMS illuminates the
low tire pressure warning
light on the instrument
panel cluster.
The low tire pressure warning light comes on at each
ignition cycle until the tires are inflated to the correct
inflation pressure.
The low tire pressure warning light may come on in cool
weather when the vehicle is first started, and then
turn off as you start to drive. This may be an early
indicator that the air pressure in the tire(s) are getting
low and need to be inflated to the proper pressure.
A Tire and Loading Information label, attached to your
vehicle, shows the size of your vehicle’s original
equipment tires and the correct inflation pressure for
your vehicle’s tires when they are cold. See Loading
Your Vehicle on page 225, for an example of the
Tire and Loading Information label and its location on
your vehicle. Also see Inflation - Tire Pressure on
page 304.
Your vehicle’s TPMS system can warn you about a low
tire pressure condition but it does not replace normal
tire maintenance. See Tire Inspection and Rotation
on page 310 and Tires on page 297.
Notice:
SIO-ID=1829755 LMD=05-jul-2006 Liquid tire
sealants could damage the Tire Pressure Monitor
System (TPMS) sensors. Sensor damage caused by
using a tire sealant is not covered by your
warranty. Do not use liquid tire sealants.
TPMS Malfunction Light
The 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 warning
light flashes for about one minute and then stays on for
the remainder of the ignition cycle. The TPMS
malfunction light comes on at each ignition cycle until
the problem is corrected. Some of the conditions
that can cause the malfunction light 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 TPMS malfunction light should go off
once you re-install the road tire containing the
TPMS sensor.
