Tire Pressure Monitor System (Tpms); Base System - Jeep Automobile Owner's Manual

Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration.
Vibration may be a result of tire and wheel out-of-
balance. Proper balancing will reduce vibration and
avoid tire cupping and spotty wear.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS)

Base System

The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless
technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to
monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire pressure
readings to the Receiver Module.
NOTE: It is particularly important, for you to check the
tire pressure in all of your tires regularly and to maintain
the proper pressure.
The "Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light" will
illuminate in the instrument cluster, and an au-
dible chime will be activated when one or more
STARTING AND OPERATING 297
tire pressures is low. The "Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light" will flash on and off for 10 to 60 seconds
when a system fault is detected. The flash cycle will
repeat every ten minutes or until the fault condition is
removed and reset.
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) consists of the
following components:
• Receiver Module
• 5 Wheel Sensors (including Full Size Spare Tire)
• Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light
The system will consist of tire pressure monitoring
sensors attached to each wheel through the valve stem
mounting hole, a central receiver module and a "Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light." A sensor is located in
the spare wheel if the vehicle is equipped with a match-
ing full size spare wheel and tire assembly.
