Ram Trucks 2014 3500 - Owner Manual - Manual (Page 573)

A system fault can occur due to any of the following:
1. Signal interference due to electronic devices or driving
next to facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as
the TPM sensors.
2. Installing aftermarket window tinting that contains
materials that may block radio wave signals.
3. Accumulation 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.
Vehicles with Full Size Spare
1. The matching full size spare wheel and tire assembly
has a TPM sensor that can be monitored by the TPMS.
2. If you install the full size spare 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 “LOW TIRE PRESSURE” message will be
displayed, and the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light” will turn ON. An
ЉInflate to XXЉ message will
also be displayed.
3. Driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h) will turn off the “Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light” and “LOW TIRE PRESSURE” message,
as long as no tire pressure is below the low-pressure
warning limit in any of the four active road tires.
Premium System — If Equipped
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless
technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to
monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem transmit tire pressure
readings to the receiver module.
