Insufficient Tire Pressure Indication
If an insufficient pressure value is detected on
one or more tires, the warning light in the
instrument cluster will display alongside the
dedicated messages, the system will highlight
the tire or tires with insufficient pressure
graphically, and an acoustic signal will be
emitted.
In this case, stop the vehicle, check the infla
-
tion pressure of each tire, and inflate the
necessary tire or tires to the correct cold infla
-
tion pressure value, shown on the display or in
the dedicated TPMS menu.
TPMS Temporarily Disabled:
TPMS Check Message
When a system fault is detected, the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Warning Light” will flash
on and off for 75 seconds, and then remain on
solid. The system fault will also sound a chime.
If the ignition is cycled, this sequence will
repeat, provided that the system fault still
exists. The “Tire Pressure Monitoring Warning
Light” will turn off when the fault condition no
longer exists. A system fault can occur due to
any of the following:
Jamming due to electronic devices or
driving next to facilities emitting the same
radio frequencies as the TPMS sensors.
Installing some form of aftermarket window
tinting that affects radio wave signals.
Packed snow or ice around the wheels or
wheel housings.
Using tire chains on the vehicle.
Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM
sensors.
After the punctured tire has been repaired
with the original tire sealant contained in the
Tire Kit, the previous condition must be
restored so that the
warning light is off
during normal driving.
TPMS Deactivation
The TPMS can be deactivated by replacing all
four wheel and tire assemblies (road tires)
with wheel and tire assemblies that do not
have TPMS sensors, such as when installing
winter wheel and tire assemblies on your
vehicle.
To deactivate the TPMS, first replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with
tires not equipped with Tire Pressure Moni
-
toring (TPM) sensors. Then, drive the vehicle
for 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h). The
TPMS will chime, the “Tire Pressure Monitoring
Warning Light” will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on. The instru
-
ment cluster will display the “SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM” message and then display dashes
(--) in place of the pressure values.
Beginning with the next ignition switch cycle,
the TPMS will no longer chime or display the
“SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message in the
instrument cluster. Instead, dashes (--) will
remain in place of the pressure values.
Using aftermarket tire sealants may cause
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) sensor to become inoperable.
After using an aftermarket tire sealant it is
recommended that you take your vehicle
to an authorized dealer to have your
sensor function checked.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pres
-
sure always reinstall the valve stem cap.
This will prevent moisture and dirt from
entering the valve stem, which could
damage the TPMS sensor.
CAUTION!
