If the ignition switch 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, the

ЉSERVICE TPM SYSTEMЉ

message will not be present, and a pressure value will be
displayed instead of dashes. A system fault can occur by
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

ЉSERVICE TPM SYSTEMЉ

message for a minimum of five seconds when a system
fault is detected possibly related to an incorrect sensor
location fault. In this case, the

ЉSERVICE TPM SYSTEMЉ

message is then followed by a graphic display, with
pressure values still shown. This indicates the pressure
values are still being received from the TPM Sensors but
they may not be located in the correct vehicle position.
However, the system still needs to be serviced as long as
the

ЉSERVICE TPM SYSTEMЉ message exists.

NOTE:
• If your vehicle is equipped with a matching full-size

spare wheel and tire assembly, it has a tire pressure
monitoring sensor, and can be monitored by the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). In the event that
the matching full-size spare tire is swapped with a low
pressure road tire, the next ignition switch cycle will still
show the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” to be
ON, a chime to sound, a “LOW TIRE PRESSURE”
