If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat,
providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault no
longer exists, the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light”
will no longer flash, and the

ЉCHECK TPM SYSTEMЉ

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
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

housings.

4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.

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

The EVIC will also display a

ЉCHECK 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

ЉCHECK TPM SYSTEMЉ mes-

sage is then followed with a graphic display with pres-
sure values still shown. This indicates that the pressure
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

ЉCHECK TPM SYSTEMЉ message is displayed.

NOTE:

1. The compact spare tire (if so 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, the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will remain ON, a
