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 in-
strument cluster display will still display a
pressure value in the different color graphic
display and an "Inflate to XX" 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 instrument
cluster display will display a "SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM" message for five seconds and then
display dashes (- -) in place of the pressure
value. For each subsequent ignition 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 instrument cluster display 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 Tell-
tale Light will turn off and the graphic in the
instrument cluster display 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 informa-
tion.
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 Moni-
toring (TPM) Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle
for 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h). The
TPMS will chime, the "TPM Telltale Light"
will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then
remain on. The instrument cluster will dis-
play the "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message
and then display dashes (--) in place of the
pressure values.
Beginning with the next ignition cycle, the
TPMS will no longer chime or display the
"SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message in the
instrument cluster but dashes (--) will remain
in place of the pressure values.
To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with
tires equipped with TPM sensors. Then, drive
the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will chime, the
"TPM Telltale Light" will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then turn off. The instrument
cluster will display the "SERVICE TPM SYS-
TEM" message and then display pressure
values in place of the dashes. On the next
ignition cycle the "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM"
message will no longer be displayed as long
as no system fault exists.
