• For each subsequent ignition switch cycle, a chime will

sound, the TPM Telltale Light will flash on and off for

75 seconds and then remain on solid, and the EVIC/

DID will display a ЉSERVICE TPM SYSTEMЉ message

for a minimum of five seconds and then display

dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value.

• Once you repair or replace the original road tire and

reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact spare,

the TPMS will update automatically. In addition, the

TPM Telltale Light will turn OFF and the graphic in the

EVIC/DID will display a new pressure value instead

of dashes (- -), 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.

Tire Pressure Information System (TPIS) Chassis
Cab — If Equipped

Your vehicle may be equipped with a Tire Pressure

Information System (TPIS).
The Tire Pressure Information System (TPIS) uses wire-

less technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sen-

sors to transmit tire pressure levels. Sensors mounted to

each wheel as part of the valve stem transmit tire

pressure readings to the receiver module.
NOTE:

It is particularly important for you to check the

tire pressure in all of the tires on your vehicle monthly

and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPIS consists of the following components:

• Receiver module
• Four TPM sensors (Single Rear Wheel [SRW] applica-

tions)
