. The TPMS sensor matching
process was not done or not
completed successfully after
rotating the vehicle's tires. The
malfunction light should go off
after successfully completing the
sensor matching process.
. One or more TPMS sensors
are missing or damaged. 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 tires or wheels do
not match your vehicle's original
equipment tires or wheels. Tires
and wheels other than those
recommended for your vehicle
could prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. See Buying
New Tires on page 10‑56.
. 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 it
cannot detect or signal a low tire
condition. See your dealer for
service if the TPMS malfunction
light comes on and stays on.
TPMS Sensor Identification
Codes
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. Any time you
replace one or more of the TPMS
sensors, or rotate the vehicle's tires,
the identification codes need to be
matched to the new tire/wheel
position. The sensors are matched,
to the tire/wheel positions, in the
following order: driver side front tire,
passenger side front tire, passenger
side rear tire, and driver side rear
tire using a TPMS diagnostic tool.
See your dealer for service.
Tire Inspection
We recommend that you
regularly inspect the vehicle's
tires, including the spare tire,
if the vehicle has one, for signs
of wear or damage at least once
a month.
Always remove the tires if any of
the following statements
are true:
. You can see the indicators at
three or more places around
the tire.
. You can see cord or fabric
showing through the tire's
rubber.
. The tread or sidewall is
cracked, cut, or snagged
deep enough to show cord or
fabric.
. The tire has a bump, bulge,
or split.
. The tire has a puncture, cut,
or other damage that cannot
be repaired well because of
the size or location of the
damage.
