Using the DIC, tire pressure
levels can be viewed. For
additional information and
details about the DIC
operation and displays see
Driver Information Center
(DIC)0139.
The low tire pressure warning
light may come on in cool
weather when the vehicle is
first started, and then turn off
as the vehicle is driven. This
could be an early indicator
that the air pressure is getting
low and needs to be inflated to
the proper pressure.
A Tire and Loading
Information label, attached to
your vehicle, shows the size of
the original equipment tires
and the correct inflation
pressure for the tires when
they are cold. See Vehicle
Load Limits 0247, for an
example of the Tire and
Loading Information label and
its location. Also see Tire
Pressure 0384. The TPMS can warn about a
low tire pressure condition but
it does not replace normal tire
maintenance. See Tire
Inspection
0392, Tire Rotation
0 393, and Tires 0376.
Caution
Tire sealant materials are
not all the same.
A non-approved tire sealant
could damage the TPMS
sensors. TPMS sensor
damage caused by using an
incorrect tire sealant is not
covered by the vehicle
warranty. Always use only
the GM approved tire
sealant available through
your dealer or included in
the vehicle.
TPMS Malfunction Light
and Message
The TPMS will not function
properly if one or more of the
TPMS sensors are missing or
inoperable. When the system
detects a malfunction, the low tire pressure warning light
flashes for about one minute
and then stays on for the
remainder of the ignition cycle.
A DIC warning message also
displays. The malfunction light
and DIC warning message
come on at each ignition cycle
until the problem is corrected.
Some of the conditions that
can cause these to come
on are:
.One of the road tires has
been replaced with the
spare tire. The spare tire
does not have a TPMS
sensor. The malfunction light
and DIC message should go
off after the road tire is
replaced and the sensor
matching process is
performed successfully. See
“TPMS Sensor Matching
Process”
later in this section.
.The TPMS sensor matching
process was not done or not
completed successfully after
rotating the tires. The
malfunction light and the DIC
message should go off after

.The tread or sidewall is
cracked, cut, or snagged
deep enough to show
cord or fabric.
.The tire has a bump,
bulge, or split.
.The tire has a puncture,
cut, or other damage that
cannot be repaired well
because of the size or
location of the damage.
Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated
according to the interval
specified in the
Maintenance Schedule. See
Maintenance Schedule
0429.
Tires are rotated to
achieve a more uniform
wear for all tires. The first
rotation is the most
important. Anytime unusual wear is
noticed, rotate the tires as
soon as possible, check for
proper tire inflation
pressure, and check for
damaged tires or wheels.
If the unusual wear
continues after the
rotation, check the wheel
alignment. See When It Is
Time for New Tires
0394
and Wheel Replacement
0 399.
Use this rotation pattern
when rotating the tires. Do not include the compact
spare tire in the tire
rotation.
Adjust the front and rear
tires to the recommended
inflation pressure on the
Tire and Loading
Information label after the
tires have been rotated.
See Tire Pressure
0384
and Vehicle Load Limits
0 247.
Reset the Tire Pressure
Monitor System. See Tire
Pressure Monitor
Operation 0388.
Check that all wheel nuts
are properly tightened. See
“Wheel Nut Torque” under
Capacities and
Specifications 0438, and
“Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire”
under Tire Changing 0402.

anything else, you or others
could be badly injured or
killed if the vehicle slips off
