Check TPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and off for 75 sec-
onds and then remain on solid. The system fault will
also sound a chime. In addition, the EVIC will display a
"CHECK TPM SYSTEM" message for three seconds
and then display dashes (- -) in place of the pressure
value to indicate which sensor is not being received.
(fig. 102)
If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will repeat,
providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault
no longer exists, the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light will no longer flash, and the "CHECK TPM SYS-
TEM" message will no longer display, and a pressure
value will display in place of the dashes. A system fault
can occur due to any of the following:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to
facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the
TPMS 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 TPMS
sensors.
NOTE:
1. The compact spare tire does not have a tire pres-
sure monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS will not
monitor the pressure in the compact spare tire.
2. If you install the compact spare tire in place of a road
tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure warn-
ing limit, upon the next ignition switch cycle, the TPMS
Telltale Light will remain on and a chime will sound. In
addition, the graphic in the EVIC will still display a
flashing pressure value.
3. After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above
25 km/h, the TPMS Telltale Light will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on solid. In addition, the
EVIC will display a "CHECK TPM SYSTEM" message
for three seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place
of the pressure value.
4. For each subsequent ignition switch cycle, a chime
will sound, the TPMS Telltale Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds and then remain on solid, and the EVIC
