If after 10 seconds the indicator lamp flashes on/off for 75 seconds, then
remains on solid, there is a system fault detected. Refer to
SYSTEM
FAULT
.
LOW PRESSURE
Check air pressure as necessary in all tires using a known accurate air gauge and
adjust to the specification listed on the Tire Inflation Pressure Label (Placard)
provided with the vehicle (usually applied to the driver side B-pillar). After
adjusting air pressure in a tire on the vehicle, allow approximately two minutes
for the message or indicator lamp to go out.
If air pressure in any tire is low, inspect
all
the tires for leaks. A water "dunk
tank" or other water test may be used to check for a leak around the sensor as
long as any water at the valve core is removed once the procedure is completed.
The water can be easily expelled from the core area by pushing in on the core for
several seconds, allowing escaping air to drive out any moisture. Reinflate the
tire as necessary. Always make sure the original (special) valve stem cap is
securely installed to keep moisture out of the sensor.
If the indicator lamp is still ON continuously, refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.
SYSTEM FAULT
If a system fault is detected, a chime will sound, and the TPM indicator (telltale)
lamp will flash for 75 seconds, then remain on solid. For vehicles with the
Premium TPM Systems, a "CHECK TPM SYSTEM" message will appear in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), followed by a graphic display. A
NOTE:
Tire pressure may increase from 2 to 6 psi (14 to 41 kPa)
during normal driving conditions. Do NOT reduce this
normal pressure build up.
NOTE:
Tire pressure will vary with temperature by about 1 psi
(6.9 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means that when the
outside temperature decreases, the tire pressure will also
decrease. Tire pressure should always be set based on
cold inflation tire pressure. For details. Refer to TIRES,
STANDARD PROCEDURE.
