will not be present, and a pressure value will be
displayed instead of dashes. A system fault can
occur by any of the following:
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. Lots of 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.
The DID will also display a "SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM" message for a minimum of five sec-
onds when a system fault is detected possibly
related to an incorrect sensor location fault. In
this case, the "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" mes-
sage is then followed by a graphic display, with
pressure values still shown. This indicates the
pressure values are still being received from the
TPM Sensors but they may not be located in the
correct vehicle position. However, the system
still needs to be serviced as long as the "SER-
VICE TPM SYSTEM" message exists.
NOTE:
There is no tire pressure monitoring sensor
in the spare tire. The TPMS will not be able to
monitor the tire pressure. If you install the
spare tire in place of a road tire that has a
pressure below the low-pressure warning
limit, upon the next ignition switch cycle, the
Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
remain ON, a chime will sound, and the DID
will still display a pressure value in the
different color graphic display and an In-
flate to XXX kPa message will be displayed.
After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h), the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds and then remain on solid. In
addition, the DID will display a "SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM message for five seconds
and then display dashes (- -) in place of the
pressure value. For each subsequent igni-
tion switch cycle, a chime will sound, the
Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and then
remain on solid, and the DID will display a
SERVICE TPM SYSTEM message for five
seconds and then display dashes (- -) in
place of the pressure value. Once you repair
or replace the original road tire, and reinstall
it on the vehicle in place of the spare tire, the
TPMS will update automatically.
In addition, the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light will turn OFF and the graphic in the DID
will display a new pressure value instead of
dashes (- -), as long as no tire pressure is below
the low-pressure warning limit in any of the four
active road tires. The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this
information.
TPMS Deactivation — If Equipped
The TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all
four wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with
wheel and tire assemblies that do not have
TPMS Sensors, such as when installing winter
wheel and tire assemblies on your vehicle. To
deactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with tires
not equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring
(TPM) Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for 20
