Training The Evic; Pressure Thresholds; Critical And Non-Critical System Alerts - Chrysler Town and Country 2003 Owner's Manual

3.14.9.1 TRAINING THE EVIC

The EVIC can be trained to recognize the source
locations of the Sensor/Transmitter signals. The
training procedure is given below:
1. From the Programmable Features List select
RETRAIN TIRE SENSORS Y/N
EVIC MENU button.
Use the STEP button to select and the MENU
button to confirm YES . The EVIC will initiate the
following procedure:
2. A display will prompt the user to: TRAIN
DRIVER FRONT SENSOR . At this point the
user must set the left front tire Sensor/
Transmitter to learn mode by positioning a mag-
net (Relearn Magnet special tool 8821) over the
valve stem for at least 5 seconds. The Sensor/
Transmitter in the front left tire will transmit a
message indicating to the EVIC that it is in learn
mode. When the EVIC has received this message
and is assured that it has learned an ID, the
EVIC will request a horn chirp via a bus message
and then display the next train request. Note:
The EVIC will allow 60 seconds from the first
train request display to the receipt of a unique
learn ID message from the first Sensor/
Transmitter and 30 seconds for each succeeding
wheel. If either of these timers expires, the EVIC
will abort the training procedure and revert to
previous settings. The EVIC will not store one ID
for multiple locations.
3. The EVIC will request the initiation of a training
sequence for each tire, one-by-one in a clockwise
direction around the vehicle (Left Front, Right
Front, Right Rear, and Left Rear).
NOTE: 1. If one or all Sensor/Transmitters
cannot be trained, move vehicle to
avoid radio frequency interference.
2. If one Sensor/Transmitter still can-
not be trained, replace it and retry.
3. If all Sensor/Transmitters still fail
to train, replace the EVIC.
4. Once all tires are successfully
learned, the previous set of stored
IDs will be replaced by the new IDs,
and the
TRAINING COMPLETE
button is pressed.
If the vehicle is equipped with the HomeLink
feature and a HomeLink button is pressed at any
time during the training procedure, the EVIC mod-
ule will immediately exit the training procedure,
discard any IDs learned in the current session and
using the
EVIC will display,
until a
GENERAL INFORMATION
perform the HomeLink function. After the button
is released, the module will display RETRAIN
TIRE SENSORS? NO .
The training procedure can be stopped at any
time by pressing the C/T, STEP, RESET, or MENU
button. When any of these buttons are pressed the
EVIC will display TRAINING ABORTED until
another button is pressed and then display RE-
TRAIN TIRE SENSORS? NO . Sensor/transmitter
replacement or tire rotation will require retraining
of the EVIC.

3.14.9.2 PRESSURE THRESHOLDS

The EVIC will monitor the tire pressure signals
from the tire Sensor/Transmitters and determine if
any tire has gone below the low pressure threshold
or exceeded the high pressure threshold. Refer to
the table below:
LOW TIRE PRESSURE THRESHOLDS
SYSTEM STATUS
INDICATOR
On
Off
HIGH TIRE PRESSURE THRESHOLDS
SYSTEM STATUS
INDICATOR
On
Off
3.14.9.3 CRITICAL AND NON-CRITICAL
SYSTEM ALERTS
CRITICAL:
A critical alert will be triggered when a tire
pressure has gone below or above a set threshold
pressure. The EVIC will request a chime and then
display X TIRE(S) LOW PRESSURE
TIRE(S) HIGH PRESSURE . X will be the number
of tires reporting low or high pressure. The message
will display for the duration of the current ignition
cycle or until an EVIC button is pressed. If the
display is removed without correcting the condition,
it will reappear without a chime after 300 seconds
to warn the driver of the low or high-pressure
condition.
NON-CRITICAL:
A non-critical alert with no chime will be trig-
gered when no signal is received from a Sensor/
Transmitter or when a Sensor/Transmitter low bat-
tery condition is detected. The EVIC will display
SERVICE TIRE PRESS. SYSTEM .
