Tpms Malfunction Light And Message - Chevrolet 2011 HHR Owner's Manual

TPMS Malfunction Light and Message

The TPMS will not function properly if one or more of
the TPMS sensors are missing or inoperable. When the
system detects a malfunction, the low tire warning light
flashes for about one minute and then stays on for the
remainder of the ignition cycle. A DIC warning message
also displays. The malfunction light and DIC warning
message come on at each ignition cycle until the
problem is corrected. Some of the conditions that can
cause these to come on are:
One of the road tires has been replaced with
the spare tire. The spare tire does not have a
TPMS sensor. The malfunction light and the DIC
message should go after the road tire is replaced
and the sensor matching process is performed
successfully. See "TPMS Sensor Matching
Process" later in this section.
The TPMS sensor matching process was not
done or not completed successfully after rotating
the tires. The malfunction light and the DIC
message should go off after successfully
completing the sensor matching process. See
"TPMS Sensor Matching Process" later in this
section.
One or more TPMS sensors are missing or
damaged. The malfunction light and the DIC
message should go off when the TPMS sensors
are installed and the sensor matching process is
performed successfully. See your dealer for
service.
Replacement tires or wheels do not match the
original equipment tires or wheels. Tires and
wheels other than those recommended could
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
See Buying New Tires on page 6 65.
Operating electronic devices or being near facilities
using radio wave frequencies similar to the TPMS
could cause the TPMS sensors to malfunction.
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, it cannot
detect or signal a low tire condition. See your dealer
for service if the TPMS malfunction light and DIC
message comes on and stays on.
