Troubleshooting
1. If the TPMS telltale remains illuminated in your vehicle, perform the following
diagnosis:
A. Turn the vehicle ignition to the OFF position for at least 30 seconds.
B. Start the vehicle and pay attention to the telltale. Is the telltale flashing or steady
during the first 20 seconds of starting the vehicle?
2. Telltale not flashing (under inflation):
A. One of your tires is under inflated. Check all tires, including the spare, to confirm
the correct pressure.
B. Keep in mind that cold temperatures can lead to low pressure in a tire.
C. Make sure there is a good seal around the rim valve hole. Use soapy water to
check for a leak around the seal area.
D. Refer to the original manufacturer’s service guide to confirm any requirement to set
the threshold for warning.
3. Telltale is flashing (improper communication from sensor to receiver):
A. Did you register the new ID numbers to the vehicle through the OBD II port?
B. Confirm the part number is the correct part for the specific make, model, and
model year vehicle.
C. Confirm transmission from TPMS sensor using a trigger tool manufactured to
interface with the specific part number for that make and model.
D. Communicate with the Point of Sale for further information.
