values flashing. Should this occur, you should stop as
soon as possible, and inflate the tires with low pressure
(those flashing in the EVIC graphic) to the vehicle's
recommended cold placard pressure value. Once the
system receives the updated tire pressures, the system
will automatically update, the graphic display in the
EVIC will stop flashing, and the Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light will turn off. The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) in
order for the TPMS to receive this information. Low
pressure in the spare tire will not cause the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light to illuminate or the chime to
sound.
NOTE:
²
You can change the pressure units to display in PSI,
kPA, or BAR. Refer to ªLanguage,º under ªPersonal
Settings (Customer Programmable Features),º under
ªElectronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)º in
Section 4 of this manual for details.
²The compact spare tire (if so equipped) does not have
a tire pressure monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS
will not monitor the pressure in the compact spare tire.
However, if you install the compact spare tire in place

of a road tire that has a pressure below the low-
pressure warning limit, the Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light will remain ON and a chime will still
sound each ignition key cycle. In addition, the EVIC
will still display a low-pressure message and a flash-
ing pressure value in the graphic display. Once you
repair or replace the original road tire, and reinstall it
on the vehicle in place of the compact spare, the TPMS
will update automatically. In addition, the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring Telltale Light will turn OFF, and the
graphic in the EVIC will stop flashing and display a
new pressure value, as long 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 10 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) in order for
the TPMS to receive this information.
Check TPMS Warning
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on
and off for 60 seconds and an audible chime will sound
when a system fault is detected. The flash cycle will
repeat every ten minutes, without an audible chime, until
the fault condition no longer exists. In addition to the
telltale and chime, the Electronic Vehicle InformationCenter (EVIC) will display a9CHECK TPM SYSTEM9
message for 3 seconds when a system fault is detected. In
the event that a fault occurs because the system did not
receive a pressure value from one or more Tire Pressure
Monitoring Sensors, the EVIC will display the9CHECK
TPM SYSTEM9message and then display dashes (- -) in
place of the pressure value to indicate which sensor is not
being received.
