The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on
and off for 75 seconds, and remain on solid when a
system fault is detected. In addition, a “CHECK TPM
SYSTEM” message will be displayed for 75 seconds when
a system fault is detected, and a chime will sound. If the
ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat, provid-
ing the system fault still exists. The Tire Pressure Moni-
toring Telltale Light will turn off when the fault condition
no longer exists. A system fault can occur by any of the
following:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to
facilities emitting the same Radio Frequencies as the TPM
sensors.
2. Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting
that affects radio wave signals.
3. Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel
housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors.
NOTE:
•
If your vehicle is equipped with a matching full-size
spare wheel and tire assembly, it has a tire pressure
monitoring sensor, and can be monitored by the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). In the event that
the matching full-size spare tire is swapped with a low
pressure road tire, the next ignition key cycle will still
show the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light to be
ON, a “TIRE LOW PRESSURE” message will be
displayed in the instrument cluster for 60 seconds, and
a chime to sound. Driving the vehicle for up to
20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) will turn OFF the
Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light as long as none
of the road tires are below the low pressure warning
threshold.
