To restore the full functionality of the tire pressure monitoring system,
have the damaged road wheel/tire repaired and remounted on your
vehicle. For additional information, refer to Changing tires with a
TPMS
in this section.

When you believe your system is not operating properly

The main function of the tire pressure monitoring system is to warn you
when your tires need air. It can also warn you in the event the system is
no longer capable of functioning as intended. Refer to the following chart

at least two minutes over 20 mph
(32 km/h) before the light turns off.
