If after 10 seconds the indicator lamp flashes on/off for 75 seconds, then

remains on solid, there is a system fault detected. Refer to SYSTEM

FAULT .

LOW PRESSURE

NOTE:

Tire pressure may increase from 2 to 6 psi (14 to 41 kPa)

during normal driving conditions. Do NOT reduce this

normal pressure build up.

NOTE:

Tire pressure will vary with temperature by about 1 psi

(6.9 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means that when the

outside temperature decreases, the tire pressure will also

decrease. Tire pressure should always be set based on

cold inflation tire pressure. For details. Refer to TIRES,

STANDARD PROCEDURE.

Check air pressure as necessary in all tires using a known accurate air gauge and

adjust to the specification listed on the Tire Inflation Pressure Label (Placard)

provided with the vehicle (usually applied to the driver side B -pillar). After

adjusting air pressure in a tire on the vehicle, allow approximately two minutes

for the message or indicator lamp to go out.

If air pressure in any tire is low, inspect all the tires for leaks. A water "dunk

tank" or other water test may be used to check for a leak around the sensor as

long as any water at the valve core is removed once the procedure is completed.

The water can be easily expelled from the core area by pushing in on the core for

several seconds, allowing escaping air to drive out any moisture. Reinflate the

tire as necessary. Always make sure the original (special) valve stem cap is

securely installed to keep moisture out of the sensor.

If the indicator lamp is still ON continuously, refer to the appropriate diagnostic

information.

SYSTEM FAULT

If a system fault is detected, a chime will sound, and the TPM indicator (telltale)

lamp will flash for 75 seconds, then remain on solid. For vehicles with the

Premium TPM Systems, a "CHECK TPM SYSTEM" message will appear in the

Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), followed by a graphic display. A
