Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warnings

The “TPM Telltale Light” will illuminate in the

instrument cluster, a “LOW TIRE” message will be

displayed and a chime will sound when tire pres-

sure is low in one or more of the four active road tires.

Should this occur, you should stop as soon as possible,

check the inflation pressure of each tire on your vehicle,

and inflate each tire to the vehicle’s recommended cold

placard pressure value. Once the system receives the

updated tire pressures, the system will automatically

update and the “TPM Telltale Light” and “LOW TIRE”

message will turn off. 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.
Service TPMS Warning
If a system fault is detected, the “TPM Telltale Light” will

flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.

The system fault will also sound a chime. If the ignition

switch is cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the

system fault still exists. The “TPM Telltale Light” will

turn off when the fault condition no longer exists. 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 Compact Spare

1. The compact spare tire does not have a TPM sensor.

Therefore, the TPMS will not monitor the pressure in the

compact spare tire.
