value as shown in the Inflate to XX message. Once the
system receives the updated tire pressures, the system
will automatically update and the "Tire Pressure Moni-

up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) in order for the
TPMS to receive this information.
Service TPMS Warning
If a system fault is detected, the "Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing Telltale Light" will flash on and off for 75 seconds and
then remain on solid. The system fault will also sound a
chime. If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will
repeat, providing the system fault still exists. The "Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light" will turn off when
the fault condition no longer exists. A system fault can
occur due to any of the following:
1. Signal interference due to electronic devices or driving
next to facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as
the TPM sensors.
2. Installing aftermarket window tinting that contains
materials that may block radio wave signals.
3. Accumulation 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.
Vehicles with Full Size Spare

has a TPM sensor that can be monitored by the TPMS.
2. If you install the full size spare in place of a road tire
that has a pressure below the low-pressure warning
limit, upon the next ignition switch cycle, a chime will
