122 SAFETY
Service TPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System Warning Light will flash
on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on
solid. The system fault will also sound a chime.
In addition, the instrument cluster will display a
"SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message for a
minimum of five seconds and then display
dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value to indi-
cate which sensor is not being received.
If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will
repeat, providing the system fault still exists. If
the system fault no longer exists, the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System Warning Light will no
longer flash, and the "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM"
message will no longer display, and a pressure
value will display in place of the dashes. 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.

Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or
wheel housings.

Using tire chains on the vehicle.

Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS
sensors.
NOTE:

The compact spare tire does not have a Tire
Pressure Monitoring sensor. Therefore, the
TPMS will not monitor the pressure in the
compact spare tire.

If you install the compact spare tire in place
of a road tire that has a pressure below the
low-pressure warning limit, upon the next
ignition switch cycle, the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System Warning Light will remain on
and a chime will sound. In addition, the
graphic in the instrument cluster will still
display a pressure value in a different color
and an "Inflate to XX" message.

After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h), the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Warning Light will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then remain on
solid. In addition, the instrument cluster will
display a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message
for a minimum of five seconds and then
display dashes (- -) in place of the pressure
value.

For each subsequent ignition switch cycle, a
chime will sound, the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System Warning Light will flash on and
off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid,
and the instrument cluster will display a
"SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message for a
minimum of five seconds and then display
dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value.

Once you repair or replace the original road
tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of
the compact spare, the TPMS will update
automatically. In addition, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Warning Light will turn off
and the graphic in the instrument cluster will
display a new pressure value instead of
dashes (- -), as long as no tire pressure is
below the low-pressure warning limit in any of
the four active road tires. The vehicle may
need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to
receive this information.
