When a low tire pressure condition is detected, the
TPMS will illuminate the low tire pressure warning
symbol on the instrument panel cluster, and at the same
time display the LOW TIRE message on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). The message will appear at
each ignition cycle until the tires are in ated to the
correct in ation pressure. For additional information and
details about the DIC operation and displays seeDIC
Controls and Displays on page 3-41andDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-44.
A Tire and Loading Information label, attached to your
vehicle, shows the size of your vehicle’s original
equipment tires and the correct in ation pressure for
your vehicle’s tires when they are cold. SeeLoading
Your Vehicle on page 4-52, for an example of the
tire information label and its location on your vehicle.
Also seeIn ation - Tire Pressure on page 5-60for
additional information.
Your vehicle’s TPMS can warn you about a low tire
pressure condition but it does not replace normal
tire maintenance. SeeTire Inspection and Rotation on
page 5-64,When It Is Time for New Tires on page 5-65,
andTires on page 5-53.Notice:Do not use a tire sealant if your vehicle is
equipped with Tire Pressure Monitors. The liquid
sealant can damage the tire pressure monitor
sensors.
The SERV (Service) TPM message is displayed when
the TPMS system is malfunctioning. One or more
missing or inoperable TPMS sensors will cause the
service tire monitor message to be displayed. See your
dealer for service,
TPMS Sensor Identi cation Codes
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identi cation code.
Any time you rotate your vehicle’s tires or replace one or
more of the TPM sensors, the identi cation codes will
need to be matched to the new tire/wheel position.
The sensors are matched to the tire/wheel positions in
the following order: left front (LF), right front (RF),
right rear (RR) and left rear (LR).
You will have one minute to match the rst tire/wheel
position, and ve minutes overall to match all four
tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer than one minute,
to match the rst tire and wheel, or more than ve
minutes to match all four tire and wheel positions the
matching process stops and you will need to start over.
5-62
The TPM sensor matching procedure is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON with the engine off.
3. Turn the exterior lamp switch from AUTO to
ON four times within three seconds. A double horn
chirp will sound and the TPMS low tire warning
light will begin to ash. The double horn chirp and
ashing TPMS warning light indicates the TPM
matching process has started. The TPMS warning
light should continue ashing throughout the
matching procedure. The SERV TPM message will
be displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
4. Start with the left (driver’s side) front tire.
5. Remove the valve cap from the valve cap stem.
Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing or
decreasing the tire’s air pressure for 10 seconds,
then stop and listen for a single horn chirp.
The single horn chirp should sound within
15 seconds, con rming that the sensor identi cation
code has been matched to this tire and wheel
position. If you do not hear the con rming single
horn chirp, you will need to start over with step
number one. To let air-pressure out of a tire you can
use the pointy end of the valve cap, a pencil-style
air pressure gage or a key.6. Proceed to the right (passenger’s side) front tire,
and repeat the procedure in Step 5.
7. Proceed to the right (passenger’s side) rear tire,
and repeat the procedure in Step 5.
8. Proceed to the left (driver’s side) rear tire, and
repeat the procedure in Step 5.
9. After hearing the con rming horn chirp for the left
rear tire, check to see if the TPMS warning light is
still ashing. If yes, turn the ignition switch to LOCK.
10. Set all four tires to the recommended air pressure
level as indicated on the Tire and Loading
Information label.
11. Put the valve caps back on the valve stems.
