The low tyre pressure telltale and a
warning message or code come on at
each ignition cycle until the tyres are
inflated to the correct tyre pressure.
TPMS Malfunction Indicator and
Message Code
The TPMS will not function properly if
one or more of the TPMS sensors are
missing or inoperable. When the
system detects a malfunction, w
flashes for about one minute and then
illuminates. Additionally a warning
message or code is displayed.
The indication by the TPMS
malfunction indicator and a warning
message or code will come on at each
ignition cycle until the problem is
corrected. Some of the conditions
that can cause these to come on are:
■ One of the tyres has been replaced
with the spare tyre which does not
have a TPMS sensor.
■ The TPMS sensor matching
process was not done or not
completed successfully after
rotating the tyres. The malfunction
light and the warning message or
code should go off after
successfully completing the sensor
matching process. See "TPMS
Sensor Matching Process" later in
this section.
■ One or more TPMS sensors are
missing or damaged. The warning
message or code and the
malfunction light should go off
when the TPMS sensors are
installed and the sensor matching
process is performed successfully.
See your workshop for service.
■ Replacement tyres or wheels do
not match the original equipment
tyres or wheels. Tyres and wheels
other than those recommended
could prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly.
■ Operating electronic devices or
being near facilities using radio
wave frequencies similar to the
TPMS could cause the TPMS
sensors to malfunction.
If the TPMS is not functioning
properly, it cannot detect or signal
a low tyre condition. See your
workshop for service if the TPMS
malfunction light and a warning
message or code come on and stay
on.
TPMS Sensor Matching
Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. The identification
code needs to be matched to a new
tyre/wheel position after rotating the
tyres or replacing one or more of the
TPMS sensors. The TPMS sensor
matching process should also be
performed after replacing a spare tyre
with a road tyre containing the TPMS
sensor.
The malfunction light and the warning
message or code should go off at the
next ignition cycle. The sensors are
matched to the tyre/wheel positions,
using a TPMS relearn tool, in the
following order: driver side front tyre,
passenger side front tyre, passenger
side rear tyre, and driver side rear.
See your dealer for service or to
purchase a relearn tool. There are
two minutes to match the first tyre/
wheel position, and five minutes
overall to match all four tyre/wheel
