The TPMS consists of the following compo-
nents:
• Receiver module
• Four tire pressure monitoring sensors
• Various tire pressure monitoring system mes-
sages, which display in the instrument cluster
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem Warning Light will illuminate
in the instrument cluster and a
chime will sound when tire pres-
sure is low in one or more of the
four active road tires. In addition, the instru-
ment cluster will display a graphic of each tire
with the low tire pressure values in a different
color, an "Inflate to XX" message will also be
displayed.

Tire Pressure Monitor Display
Should this occur, you should stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tires with low pressure
(those in a different color in the instrument
cluster display graphic) to the vehicle's recom-
mended cold placard pressure value as shown
in the "Inflate to XX"" message. Once the system
receives the updated tire pressures, the system
will automatically update and the graphic dis-
play in the instrument cluster will change color
back to the original color, and the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Warning Light will turn off.
NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may
need to be increased up to an additional 4 psi
(28 kPa) above the recommended cold placard
pressure in order to turn the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System Warning Light off. 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.
Service TPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Warning Light will flash on and
off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid. The
system fault will also sound a chime. In addition,
the instrument cluster will display a "SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM" message for a minimum of five
seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place of
the pressure value to indicate which sensor is not
being received.
If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence
will repeat, providing the system fault still ex-
ists. If the system fault no longer exists, the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light will
no longer flash, and the "SERVICE TPM SYS-
