When your temporary spare tire is installed

When one of your road tires needs to be replaced with the temporary spare,
the TPMS system will continue to identify an issue to remind you that the
damaged road wheel/tire needs to be repaired and put back on your vehicle.

To restore the full functionality of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System,
have the damaged road wheel/tire repaired and remounted on your
vehicle. For additional information, refer to

Changing tires with TPMS

in this section.

When you believe your system is not operating properly

The main function of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System is to warn you
when your tires need air. It can also warn you in the event the system is no
longer capable of functioning as intended. Please refer to the following
chart for information concerning your Tire Pressure Monitoring System:

vehicle must be driven for at least
two minutes over 20 mph (32 km/h)
before the light will turn OFF.
