TPMS Lamp Alerts

(repeated for 1 Minute 

after Start-up, then ON 

or OFF depending on 

Priority)

Cause and Solution

High 

Temperature

5x Blinks 
& then 
ON after 1 
min. 

Contained Air Temperature is over 85C/185F – 

Stop and allow tire to cool down, assess cause 
of temperature increase, possible brake, 
wheel bearing, or pressure issue

Critical Low 

Pressure

4x Blinks 
&  then 
ON after 1 
min.

Tire Pressure has dropped below the critical 

threshold (-20% default), stop and check for 

punctures, bead leaks, valve leaks, etc. and 
air up the tire

Minor Over 

or Under 

Pressure

2x Blinks 
&  then 
OFF after 
1 min.

The minor over- or under-pressure threshold 
has been reached, have the tire serviced 
during the next maintenance check, set the 
recommended pressure and compensate for 
changes in ambient temperature (see temp 
chart in 

Section A

)

Sensor 

Diagnostic 

Trouble 

Code (DTC)

1x Blink 
&  then 
OFF after 
1 min.

Data from a TPMS sensor has not been 
received for 35 min.  This may be related to 
the signal reception of the sensor.  Continue 
to drive to clear the DTC.  If the Diagnostic 
Trouble Code (DTC) persists, check the 
programming and functionality of all trailer 
TPMS sensors by using the Maintenance 
Hand tool 090.0011 and replace sensors if 
unresponsive

Setup 

Diagnostic 

Trouble 

Code (DTC)

3x Blinks 
&  then 
OFF after 
1 min.

The SmarTire Trailer-Link

 ECU is not properly 

programmed and is unable to connect.  Check 
the programming using the Maintenance 
Tool, Diagnostics Software and Diagnostics
