10-46 Vehicle Care
Caution
Tyre sealant materials are not all
the same. A non-approved tyre
sealant could damage the TPMS
sensors. TPMS sensor damage
caused by using an incorrect tyre
sealant is not covered by the
vehicle warranty. Always use only
the GM approved tyre sealant
available through your dealer or
included in the vehicle.
Factory-installed Tyre Inflator Kits
use a GM approved liquid tyre
sealant. Using non-approved tyre
sealants could damage the TPMS
sensors. See Tyre Sealant and
Compressor Kit on page 10-56 for
information regarding the inflator kit
materials and instructions.
TPMS Malfunction Light and
Message
The TPMS will not function properly
if one or more of the TPMS sensors
are missing or inoperable. When the
system detects a malfunction, the
low tyre warning light flashes for
about one minute and then stays on
for the remainder of the ignition
cycle. A DIC warning message also
displays. The malfunction light and
DIC warning message come on at
each ignition cycle until the problem
is corrected. Some of the conditions
that can cause these to come
on are:
One of the road tyres has been
replaced with the spare tyre. The
spare tyre does not have a
TPMS sensor. The malfunction
light and DIC message should
go off after the road tyre is
replaced and the sensor
matching process is performed
successfully. See TPMS Sensor
Matching Process later in this
section.
The TPMS sensor matching
process was not done or not
completed successfully after
rotating the tyres. The
malfunction light and the DIC
message should go off after
successfully completing the
sensor matching process. See
"TPMS Sensor Matching
Process" later in this section.
One or more TPMS sensors are
missing or damaged. The
malfunction light and the DIC
message should go off when the
TPMS sensors are installed and
the sensor matching process is
performed successfully. See
your dealer for service.
Replacement tyres or wheels do
not match the original equipment
tyres or wheels. Tyres and
wheels other than those
recommended could prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly.
