Check TPM System Message
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
flash on and off for 75 seconds, and remain on
solid when a system fault is detected. The
system fault will also sound a chime. The EVIC
will display a "CHECK TPM SYSTEM" message
for three seconds. This text message is then
followed by a graphic display, with "- -" in place
of the pressure value(s) indicating which Tire
Pressure Monitoring Sensor(s) is not being re-
ceived.
Check TPM System Display
If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will
repeat, providing the system fault still exists. If
the system fault no longer exists, the Tire Pres-

sure Monitoring Telltale Light will no longer
flash, the CHECK TPM SYSTEM text message
will not be present, and a pressure value will be
displayed instead of dashes. A system fault
can occur by any of the following scenarios:
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:
Your vehicle is equipped with a compact
spare wheel and tire assembly.
1. The compact spare tire does not have a tire
pressure monitoring sensor. Therefore, the
TPMS will not monitor the tire 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, upon the next igni-
tion key cycle, a chime will sound and the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will still turn
ON due to the low tire.
3. However, after driving the vehicle for up to
20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h), the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then remain on
solid.
4. For each subsequent ignition key cycle, a
chime will sound and the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring Telltale Light will flash on and off for
75 seconds 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 tire, the TPMS will update auto-
matically and the Tire Pressure Monitoring Tell-
tale 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 min-
utes above 15 mph (25 km/h) in order for the
TPMS to receive this information.
