Monitor System (TPMS), this
message displays if a part on the
system is not working properly.
The tire pressure light also flashes
and then remains on during the
same ignition cycle. See Tire
Pressure Light on page 5‑30
.
Several conditions may cause
this message to appear. See Tire
Pressure Monitor Operation on
page 10‑69

If the warning comes on and stays
on, there may be a problem with
the TPMS. See your dealer.
