no longer exists, the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light” will no longer flash, and the

Љ 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.

The EVIC will also display a

ЉSERVICE TPM SYSTEMЉ

message for a minimum of five seconds when a system
fault related to an incorrect sensor location fault is
detected. In this case, the

ЉSERVICE TPM SYSTEMЉ

message is then followed with a graphic display with
pressure values still shown. This indicates that the pres-
sure values are still being received from the TPM sensors
but they may not be located in the correct vehicle
position. The system still needs to be serviced as long as
the

ЉSERVICE TPM SYSTEMЉ message is displayed.

NOTE:

tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure warning
limit, upon the next ignition switch cycle, the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will remain on and a
