2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA sensor

Service Tire System Soon
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Lamp will flash on
and off for 60 seconds in the instrument cluster, and an
audible chime will be activated when one or more of the
four active road tire pressures are low.
In addition the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) will display a“SERVICE TIRE SYSTEM SOON”
text message. The flash cycle will repeat every ten
minutes, without an audible chime, until the condition no
longer exists. The flash cycle sequence will repeat and an
audible chime will sound once every ignition cycle for
each condition that it detects.
NOTE:If a temporary spare tire is in use and none of
the remaining 3 active road tire pressures are low, a
“SERVICE TIRE SYSTEM SOONtextual message will
appear in the EVIC after 10 minutes of driving,CAUTION!
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System has been op-
timized for the original equipment tires and wheels.
TPMS pressures have been established for the tire
size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the same size,
type, and/or style. After-market wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or
balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a
TPM System, as damage to the sensors may result.
312 STARTING AND OPERATING

CAUTION!
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure al-
ways reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent
moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem,
which could damage the wheel rim sensor.
NOTE:
•The Tire Pressure Monitoring System does not monitor
the temporary spare tire.
•The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire care
and maintenance, or to provide warning of a tire
failure or condition.
•The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure gauge
while adjusting your tire pressure.
•Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underin-
flation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
•The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver ’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Lamp.
Using Your Compact Spare — Basic Tire
Pressure Monitoring System Only
Your vehicle is equipped with a compact spare wheel and
tire assembly that does not have a tire pressure monitor-
ing sensor. Therefore, it will not be monitored by the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System. In the event that a compact
spare tire is used to replace a low pressure road tire, the
next ignition key cycle will still show the Tire Pressure

Monitoring Lamp to be ON, and a Chime will sound.
This sequence will repeat for every key cycle until the
original Tire Pressure Monitoring System tire has been
properly repaired (or replaced) and put back on the
vehicle in place of the compact spare tire.
Tire Pressure Monitoring Premium System – If
Equipped
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless
technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to
monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire pressure
readings to the Receiver Module.
NOTE:It is particularly important, for you to check the
tire pressure in all of your tires regularly and to maintain
the proper pressure.
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) consists of the
following components:
•Receiver Module
•4 Wheel Sensors
•Wheel Sensor Trigger Modules (mounted in three of
the four wheel wells)
•Various Tire Pressure Monitoring System Messages,
which display in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)
•Yellow Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System Telltale Lamp will
illuminate in the instrument cluster, and an audible
chime will be activated when one or more of the four
active road tire pressures are low. The audible chime will
sound once every ignition cycle for each condition that it
detects. In addition, the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) will show a graphic display of the pressure
value(s) with the low tire(s) flashing.
314 STARTING AND OPERATING

NOTE:A low spare tire will not cause the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Telltale Lamp to illuminate or the
chime to sound.
Should a low tire condition occur on any of the four
active road tire(s), you should stop as soon as possible,
and inflate the low tire(s) that is/are flashing on the
graphic display to the vehicle’s recommended cold plac-
ard pressure value. The system will automatically up-
date, the graphic display of the pressure value(s) will
stop flashing, and the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Lamp will extinguish once the updated tire pressure(s)
have been received.
NOTE:The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10
minuets above 15 mph (25 km/h) to receive this infor-
mation.Service Tire System Soon
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Lamp will flash on
and off for 60 seconds in the instrument cluster, and an
audible chime when a system fault is detected. The flash
cycle will repeat every 10 minutes, without an audible
chime, until the fault condition not longer exists.
In addition the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) will display a“SERVICE TIRE SYSTEM SOON”
text message for 3 seconds. This text message is then
followed by “— —”, for the pressure value indicating
which of the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor(s) is not
being received.
If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat,
providing the system fault still exists. Iff the system fault
no longer exists, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Telltale Lamp will no longer flash, the“SERVICE TIRE
SYSTEM SOON”text message will no longer display,
and a pressure value will be displayed instead of dashes.
