If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will repeat,

providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault

no longer exists, the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale

Light” will no longer flash, the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM”

message will not be present, and a pressure value will be

displayed instead of dashes. A system fault can occur by

any of the following scenarios:

• Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to

facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the

TPMS sensors.

• Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting

that affects radio wave signals.

• Accumulation of excessive snow and/or ice around

the wheels or wheel housings.

• Using tire chains on the vehicle.
• Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS sensors.

The EVIC will also display a “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM”

message for a minimum of five seconds when a system

fault possibly related to an incorrect sensor location fault

is present. In this case, the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM”

message is then followed by a graphic display with

pressure values still shown. This indicates that the pres-

sure values are still being received from the TPM sensors

but they may not be in the correct vehicle position. The

system still needs to be serviced as long as the “SERVICE

TPM SYSTEM” message exists.
Vehicles With Compact Spare

• The compact spare tire (if equipped) does not have a

TPMS. Therefore, the TPMS will not monitor the

pressure in the compact spare tire.

• If you install the compact spare tire in place of a road

tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure warn-

ing limit, upon the next ignition switch cycle, the “Tire

Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will remain on, the
