sensors. TPMS sensor damage
caused by using an incorrect tyre
sealant is not covered by the
vehicle warranty. Always use only
the GM approved tyre sealant
available through your dealer or
included in the vehicle.
TPMS Malfunction Light and
Message
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
tyre pressure warning light flashes for
about one minute and then stays on
for the remainder of the ignition cycle.
A DIC warning message also displays.
The malfunction light and DIC
warning message come on at each
ignition cycle until the problem is
corrected. Some of the conditions that
can cause these to come on are:
.
One of the road tyres has been
replaced with the spare tyre. The
spare tyre does not have a TPMS
sensor. The malfunction light and
DIC message should go off after
the road tyre is replaced and the
sensor matching process is
performed successfully. See
“
TPMS
Sensor Matching Process
”
following.
.
The TPMS sensor matching
process was not done or not
completed successfully after
rotating the tyres. The
malfunction light and the DIC
message should go off after
successfully completing the sensor
matching process. See "TPMS
Sensor Matching Process"
following.
.
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 tyres or wheels do
not match the original equipment
tyres or wheels. Tyres and wheels
other than those recommended
could prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. See
.
.
Operating electronic devices or
being near facilities using radio
wave frequencies similar to the
TPMS could cause the TPMS
sensors to malfunction.
If the TPMS is not functioning
properly, it cannot detect or signal a
low tyre pressure condition. See your
dealer for service if the TPMS
malfunction light and DIC message
come on and stay on.
Tyre Fill Alert (If Equipped)
This feature provides visual and
audible alerts outside the vehicle to
help when inflating an underinflated
tyre to the recommended cold tyre
pressure.
When the low tyre pressure warning
light comes on:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe, level
place.
2. Apply the parking brake firmly.
3. Place the vehicle in P (Park).
