trailer tire placard on the trailer or
the trailer tire sidewall for the
recommended tire pressure.
The system is compatible with
trailer tires that have placard
pressure values from 103 - 689 kpa
(15 - 100 psi). The hole in the wheel
for the tire stem must be 11.43 mm
(0.453 in) in diameter. Use of the
pressure sensors on a wheel with a
different stem hole size could result
in loss of air from the tire.
If a low trailer tire pressure condition
is detected, the TTPMS displays a
warning message on the DIC. If the
warning message is displayed, stop
as soon as possible and inflate the
tires to the recommended pressure
shown on the tire placard on the
trailer.
In addition, the TTPMS monitors the
temperature of the trailer tires. If the
system detects a high temperature
on one or more of the trailer tires, a
warning message will be displayed
on the DIC. If this warning message
is displayed, stop as soon as
possible, and inspect the
overheated trailer tire. Common
causes for high trailer tire
temperature are underinflation,
overloading, or tire damage.
TTPMS Malfunction Message
The TTPMS will not function
properly if one or more of the trailer
tire sensors are missing or
inoperable. If the system detects a
malfunction, a DIC message
indicates that the system requires
service. Some of the conditions that
can cause the service message to
occur are:
.
One of the trailer tires has been
replaced with the spare tire
which does not have a learned
TTPMS sensor. The DIC
message should turn off after the
pressure sensor is installed in
the tire, and the learning process
is performed successfully. See
"TTPMS Sensor Learning
Process" under
.
The TTPMS sensor learning
process was not done or not
completed successfully. The DIC
message should go off after
successfully completing the
sensor learning process. See
"TTPMS Sensor Learning
Process" under
.
.
One or more TTPMS sensors
are missing or damaged. The
DIC message should go off
when the TTPMS sensors are
installed and the sensor learning
process is performed
successfully. See "TTPMS
Sensor Learning Process" under
.
.
Operating electronic devices or
being near facilities using radio
wave frequencies similar to the
TTPMS could cause interference
to the TTPMS which could
cause loss of signal reception
from the sensor.
.
If the system does not receive
the signal from an individual
sensor, an error message may
not occur until the vehicle has
been driver for a period of time.
If the TTPMS is not functioning
properly, it cannot detect or signal a
low tire condition. See your dealer
