Vehicle Care
The TPMS can warn about a low
tyre pressure condition but it does
not replace normal tyre
maintenance. See
,
, and
{
Caution
Tyre sealant materials are not all
the same. A non-approved tyre
sealant could damage the TPMS
sensors. TPMS sensor damage
caused by using an incorrect tyre
sealant could affect the New
Vehicle Voluntary Warranty.
Always use only the
GM-approved tyre sealant
available through your dealer or
included in the vehicle.
Factory-installed Tyre Inflator Kits
use a GM-approved liquid tyre
sealant. Using non-approved tyre
sealants could damage the TPMS
sensors. See
for
information regarding the inflator kit
materials and instructions.
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 vehicle on/off cycle. A DIC
warning message also displays. The
malfunction light and DIC warning
message come on at each vehicle
on/off cycle until the problem is
corrected. Some of the conditions
that can cause these to come
on are:
.
The TPMS sensor matching
process was started but not
completed or not completed
successfully after rotating the
tyres. The DIC message and
malfunction light should go off
once the TPMS sensor matching
process is performed
successfully. See
“
TPMS Sensor
Matching Process
”
later in this
section.
.
One or more TPMS sensors are
missing or damaged. The DIC
message and the malfunction
light should go off when the
TPMS sensors are installed and
the sensor matching process is
performed successfully. See
your dealer 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.
See
.
Operating electronic devices or
being near facilities using radio
wave frequencies similar to the
TPMS could cause the TPMS
sensors to malfunction.
