mended cold placard pressure value. Once the
system receives the updated tire pressures, the
system will automatically update and the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will turn off.
The vehicle may need to be driven for up to
20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) in order for
the TPMS to receive this information.
Check TPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring 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. Jamming due to electronic devices or driv-
ing next to facilities emitting the same Radio
Frequencies as the TPMS sensors.
2. Installing some form of aftermarket window
tinting that affects radio wave signals.
3. Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or
wheel housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS
sensors.
NOTE:
1. The compact spare tire does not have a
tire pressure monitoring sensor. Therefore,
the TPMS will not monitor the pressure in
the compact spare tire.
2. If you install the compact spare tire in
place of a road tire that has a pressure below
the low-pressure warning limit, a chime will
sound and the TPMS Telltale Light will turn
on upon the next ignition switch cycle.
3. After driving the vehicle for up to 20 min-
utes above 15 mph (25 km/h), the TPMS
Telltale Light will flash on and off for 75 sec-
onds and then remain on solid.
4. For each subsequent ignition switch
cycle, a chime will sound and the TPMS
Telltale Light will flash on and off for 75 sec-
onds and then remain on solid.
5. Once you repair or replace the original
road tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in
place of the compact spare, the TPMS will
update automatically and the TPMS Telltale
Light will turn off, 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 (25 km/h) in order for the
TPMS to receive this information.
TPMS Deactivation and Reactivation
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
those not equipped with TPM Sensors. Then,
drive the vehicle for at least 20 minutes above
15 mph (25 km/h). The TPMS will chime and the
TPM Telltale Light will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on solid. Upon the
next ignition switch cycle, the TPMS will no
longer chime or turn on the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring Telltale Light.
To reactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with
those equipped with TPM Sensors. Then, drive
