Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Tire Pressure
Warnings

The “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light”
will illuminate in the instrument cluster, a “LOW
TIRE PRESSURE” message will display in the
instrument cluster, and an audible chime will be

activated when one or more of the four active road tire
pressures are low. Should this occur, you should stop as
soon as possible, check the inflation pressure of each tire on
your vehicle, and inflate each tire to the vehicle’s recom-
mended cold tire placard pressure value (located on the
placard label on the driver’s-side B-Pillar). The system will
automatically update and the “Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light” will extinguish once the updated tire pres-
sures have been received.

NOTE:

The vehicle may need to be driven for up to

20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) to receive this
information.

The “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will flash
on and off for 75 seconds, and remain on solid when a
system fault is detected. The system fault will also sound
a chime. If the ignition switch 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
TPMS sensors.

2. Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting

that affects radio wave signals.

3. Accumulation of excessive snow and/or ice around

the wheels or wheel housings.

4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.

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