When Driving Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to

indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction

indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system

detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute

and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue

upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.

When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able

to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.

TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the

installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that

prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.

Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more

tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate

tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
