FIAT Freemont - Manual (Page 133)

3. After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above
25 km/h, the TPMS Telltale Light will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on solid. In addition, the
EVIC will display a "CHECK TPM SYSTEM" message
for three seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place
of the pressure value.
4. For each subsequent ignition switch cycle, a chime
will sound, the TPMS Telltale Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds and then remain on solid, and the EVIC
will display a "CHECK TPM SYSTEM" message for
three seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place of
the pressure value.
5. 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
TPMS Telltale Light will turn off and the graphic in the
EVIC 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 25 km/h in order for the TPMS to
receive this information.
TPMS Deactivation And Reactivation
The TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all four wheel
and tire assemblies (road tires) with wheel and tire
assemblies that do not have TPMS Sensors, such as
when installing winter wheel and tire assemblies on
your vehicle.
To deactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four wheel and
tire assemblies (road tires) with those not equipped
with TPM Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for 20 min-
utes above 25 km/h. The TPMS will chime and the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds and then remain on solid. In addition,
the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will
display a “CHECK TPM SYSTEM” text message, and
the graphic will display “- -“ in place of four tire
pressure values. Upon the next ignition switch cycle,
the TPMS will no longer chime or turn on the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light, or display the text
message in the EVIC. However, the graphic will still
display “- -.“
To reactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four wheel and
tire assemblies (road tires) with those equipped with
TPM Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for up to 20 min-
utes above 25 km/h. The TPMS will chime, the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds, the EVIC will display a “CHECK TPM
SYSTEM” text message, and the graphic will display tire
pressure values to show that the TPMS is receiving
sensor data.
