update, the graphic display in the EVIC will change color

back to the original color, and the “Tire Pressure Moni-

toring Telltale Light” will turn off.
NOTE:

When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may

need to be increased up to an additional 4 psi (30 kPa)

above the recommended cold placard pressure in order

to turn the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light 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
When a system fault is detected, the “Tire Pressure Moni-

toring Telltale Light” will flash on and off for 75 seconds

and then remain on solid. The system fault will also sound

a chime. In addition, the EVIC will display a ЉSERVICE

TPM SYSTEMЉ message for a minimum of five seconds and

then display dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value to

indicate which sensor is not being received.

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, and the ЉSERVICE TPM

SYSTEMЉ message will no longer display, and a pressure

value will display in place of the dashes. A system fault

can occur due to any of the following:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to

facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the

TPMS sensors.

2. Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting

that affects radio wave signals.

3. Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel

housings.

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