Check TPMS Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on

and off for 75 seconds and remain on solid when a system

fault is detected. The system fault will also sound a

chime. If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will

repeat providing the system fault still exists. The Tire

Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will turn off when the

fault condition no longer exists. A system fault can occur

with any of the following scenarios:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to

facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the

TPM sensors.

2. Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting

that affects radio wave signals.

3. 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.
NOTE:

Your vehicle is equipped with a compact spare

wheel and tire assembly.
1. The compact spare tire does not have a tire pressure

monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS will not moni-

tor the tire pressure in the compact spare tire.

2. 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 key cycle, a chime will

sound and the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light

and LOW TIRE message will still turn ON due to the

low tire.
