Service TPMS Warning

When a system fault is detected, the “Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light” will flash on and off for 75
seconds and then remain on solid. 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 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.

NOTE:

• The compact spare tire does not have a tire pressure

monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS will not moni-
tor the pressure in the compact spare tire.

• If you install the compact spare tire in place of a road

tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure warn-
ing limit, a chime will sound and the “Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light” will turn on and a “LOW
TIRE” message will be displayed for a minimum of
five seconds upon the next ignition switch cycle. An

ЉInflate to XXЉ message will also be displayed.

• After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above

15 mph (24 km/h), the “Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light” will flash on and off for 75 seconds and
then remain on solid.
