illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tyre pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for
a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tyres
or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tyres or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement
or alternate tyres and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function properly.
See
Tyre Pressure Monitor Operation
for additional information.
Tyre Pressure Monitor Operation
The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure
in the tyres and transmit the tyre pressure
readings to a receiver located in the vehicle.
When a low tyre pressure condition is
detected, the TPMS illuminates the low tyre
pressure warning light located on the
instrument cluster. If the warning light
comes on, stop as soon as possible and
inflate the tyres to the recommended
pressure shown on the Tyre and Loading
Information label. See
.
A message to check the pressure in a
specific tyre displays in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC). The low tyre
pressure warning light and the DIC warning
message come on at each ignition cycle
until the tyres are inflated to the correct
inflation pressure. If the vehicle has DIC
buttons, tyre pressure levels can be viewed.
For additional information and details about
the DIC operation and displays, see
The low tyre pressure warning light may
come on in cool weather when the vehicle is
first started, and then turn off as the vehicle
is driven. This could be an early indicator
that the air pressure is getting low and
needs to be inflated to the proper pressure.
A Tyre and Loading Information label shows
the size of the original equipment tyres and
the correct inflation pressure for the tyres
when they are cold. See
, for an example of the Tyre and
Loading Information label and its location.

The TPMS can warn about a low tyre
pressure condition but it does not replace
normal tyre maintenance. See

and
TPMS Malfunction Light and Message
The TPMS will not function properly if one
or more of the TPMS sensors are missing or
inoperable. When the system detects a
malfunction, the low tyre pressure warning
light flashes for about one minute and then
stays on for the remainder of the ignition
cycle. A DIC warning message also displays.
The malfunction light and DIC warning
message come on at each ignition cycle
until the problem is corrected. Some of the
conditions that can cause these to come
on are:
