inactive
The tire inflation pressure mon-
itor is temporarily unable to
monitor the tire inflation pres-
sure due to:
the presence of several
wheel sensors in the vehicle
excessive wheel sensor
temperatures
a nearby radio interference
source
unrecognized wheel sen-
sors mounted
Remove any additional wheel sensors from the vehicle,
e.g. when transporting a new set of tires.
As soon as the causes of the malfunction have been re-
moved, the tire inflation pressure monitor automatically be-
