the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Unavailable” text message

will display. If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence

will repeat providing the system fault still exists. The Tire

Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will turn off when the

fault condition no longer exists. A system fault can occur

with any of the following scenarios:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to

facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the

TPM sensors.

2. Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting

that affects radio wave signals.

3. Snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors.

NOTE:

Your vehicle is equipped with a regular size

spare wheel.
1. The spare tire has a tire pressure monitoring sensor,

but it is not monitored until it is mounted in place of

any of the existing four road tires.

2. If you install the spare tire in place of a road tire that

has a pressure below the low-pressure warning limit,

upon the next ignition key cycle, a chime will sound

and the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will

turn ON due to the low tire condition. Then, after

driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15mph

(24km/h), the system will recognize the new sensor, so

turn off the telltale.

3. If a spare tire not equipped with tire pressure moni-

toring sensor is used, then the Tire Pressure Monitor-

ing Telltale Light will turn ON, flashing for 75 seconds

and then remaining solid for each subsequent ignition

key cycle.
