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.

NOTE:

There is no tire pressure monitoring sensor in

the spare tire. The TPMS will not be able to monitor the
tire pressure. If you install the spare tire, in place of a
road tire, that has a pressure below the low-pressure
warning limit, upon the next ignition switch cycle, a
chime will sound, a “TIRE LOW PRESSURE” message
will be displayed in the instrument cluster for 60 seconds,
and the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will turn
ON. 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. In addition, a “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” mes-
sage will be displayed for 75 seconds. For each subse-
quent ignition switch cycle, a chime will sound, a “SER-
VICE TPM SYSTEM” message will be displayed for
75 seconds, and the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain
on solid. Once you repair or replace the original road tire,
and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the spare tire, the
TPMS will update automatically and the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light will turn OFF, as long as no tire
pressure is below the low-pressure warning limit in any
of the four active road tires. The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in
order for the TPMS to receive this information.
