TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM
Tire Pressure Monitoring — Base System
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPM) system uses
wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic
sensors to monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors, mounted
to each wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire
pressure readings to the Receiver Module.
NOTE: It is particularly important, for you to check the
tire pressure in all of your tires regularly and to maintain
the proper pressure.
The “Tire Pressure Monitoring Indicator Lamp”
will illuminate in the instrument cluster, and an
audible chime will be activated when one or more
tire pressures is low. The “Tire Pressure Monitoring
Indicator Lamp” will flash on and off for ten seconds
when a system fault is detected. The flash cycle will

• Receiver Module
• 5 Wheel Sensors (including Full Size Spare Tire)
• Amber Colored Tire Pressure Monitoring Indicator
Lamp
The system will consist of tire pressure monitoring
sensors attached to each wheel through the valve stem
mounting hole, a central receiver module and an amber
