Chevrolet Corvette Owner's Manual page 391

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately
one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or signal low
tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
A Tire and Loading Information label, attached to
your vehicle, shows the size of your vehicle's
original equipment tires and the correct inflation
pressure for your vehicle's tires when they
are cold. See Loading Your Vehicle on page 307,
for an example of the tire information label and
its location on your vehicle. Also see Inflation - Tire
Pressure on page 386.
Your vehicle's TPMS can alert you about a
low or high tire pressure condition but it does
not replace normal tire maintenance. See
Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 386 and When
It Is Time for New Tires on page 393.
The SERVICE TIRE MONITOR message, in the
DIC, is displayed when the TPMS is
malfunctioning. For example, one or more TPMS
sensors may be inoperable or missing. Also,
the active handling system will be affected, see
Active Handling System on page 281. See
your dealer for service.
