To restore the full functionality of the tire pressure monitoring system, have
the damaged road wheel/tire repaired and remounted on your vehicle. For
additional information, refer to Changing tires with TPMS in this section.

When you believe your system is not operating properly

when your tires need air. It can also warn you in the event the system is no
longer capable of functioning as intended. Please refer to the following
