Check TPMS Warning

The “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will flash
on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid when
a system fault is detected. The system fault will also
sound a chime. 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 due to any of the following:

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. Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel hous-

ings.

4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.

5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors.

NOTE:

1. The compact spare tire (if equipped) does not have a

tire pressure 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 key cycle, a chime will
sound and the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light” will turn ON and a

ЉLOW TIREЉ message will

be displayed for a minimum of five seconds. An

ЉInflate to XXЉ message will also be displayed.
