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 warning light ļ¬ashes for
about one minute and then stays
on for the remainder of the ignition
cycle. A DIC warning message is
also displayed. The low tire warning
light and DIC warning message
come on at each ignition cycle until
the problem is corrected. Some of
the conditions that can cause the
malfunction light and DIC message
to come on are:
ā¢One of the road tires has been
replaced with the spare tire, if the
vehicle has one. The spare tire
does not have a TPMS sensor.
The DIC message should go off
once you re-install the road tire
containing the TPMS sensor.
ā¢The TPMS sensor matching
process was not done or not
completed successfully after
rotating the vehicleās tires.
The DIC message should go
off after successfully completing
the sensor matching process.
See āTPMS Sensor Matching
Processā later in this section.
ā¢One or more TPMS sensors
are missing or damaged.
The DIC message and the
TPMS malfunction light should
go off when the TPMS sensors
are installed and the sensor
matching process is performed
successfully. See your dealer/
retailer for service.
ā¢Replacement tires or wheels do
not match your vehicleās original
equipment tires or wheels. Tires
and wheels other than those
recommended for your vehicle
could prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. SeeBuying
New Tires on page 9-63.
ā¢Operating electronic devices or
being near facilities using radio
wave frequencies similar to the
TPMS could cause the TPMS
sensors to malfunction.
If the TPMS is not functioning it
cannot detect or signal a low tire
condition. See your dealer/retailer for
service if the TPMS malfunction light
and DIC message comes on and
stays on.

TPMS Sensor Matching
Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identiļ¬cation code. Any time you
replace one or more of the TPMS
sensors or rotate your vehicleās tires,
the identiļ¬cation codes need to be
matched to the new tire/wheel
position. The sensors are matched
to the tire/wheel positions in the
following order: driver side front tire,
passenger side front tire, passenger
side rear tire, and driver side rear
tire using a TPMS diagnostic tool.
See your dealer/retailer for service.
The TPMS sensors can also be
matched to each tire/wheel position
by increasing or decreasing the
tireās air pressure. If increasing the
tireās air pressure, do not exceed
the maximum inļ¬ation pressure
indicated on the tireās sidewall.
To decrease the tireās air-pressure
use the pointed end of the valve
cap, a pencil-style air pressure
gage, or a key.You have two minutes to match
the ļ¬rst tire/wheel position, and
ļ¬ve minutes overall, to match all
four tire/wheel positions. If it takes
longer than two minutes, to match
the ļ¬rst tire and wheel, or more than
ļ¬ve minutes to match all four tire
and wheel positions, the matching
process stops and you need to
start over.
The TPMS matching process is
outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to
ON/RUN with the engine off.
3. Go to the TPM vehicle
information screen on the DIC.
SeeDriver Information Center
(DIC) on page 4-27. Press set to
relearn the sensors. The horn
sounds twice to signal the
receiver is in relearn mode and
Tire Learning Active message
displays on the DIC screen.
4. Start with the driver side
front tire.5. Remove the valve cap from
the valve stem. Activate the
TPMS sensor by increasing or
decreasing the tireās air pressure
for 10 seconds, or until a horn
chirp sounds. The horn chirp,
which can take up to 30 seconds
to sound, conļ¬rms that the TPMS
sensor identiļ¬cation code has
been matched to this tire position.
6. Proceed to the passenger
side front tire, and repeat
the procedure in Step 5.
7. Proceed to the passenger
side rear tire, and repeat
the procedure in Step 5.
8. Proceed to the driver side rear
tire, and repeat the procedure
in Step 5.
9. After hearing the conļ¬rming horn
chirp, for the driver side rear tire,
the horn sounds two more times
to signal the tire learning mode is
no longer active. Turn the ignition
switch to LOCK/OFF.

The positive jump start connection
is covered by a red cap. Remove to
expose the terminal.
1. Check the other vehicle. It must
have a 12-volt battery with a
negative ground system.
Notice:If the other vehicleās
system is not a 12-volt system
with a negative ground, both
vehicles can be damaged. Only
use vehicles with 12-volt systems
with negative grounds to jump
start your vehicle.
2. Position the two vehicles so that
they are not touching.
3. Set the parking brake ļ¬rmly and
put the shift lever in P (Park).
SeeShifting Into Park on
page 8-21.Notice:If you leave the radio or
other accessories on during the
jump starting procedure, they
could be damaged. The repairs
would not be covered by the
warranty. Always turn off the
radio and other accessories
when jump starting the vehicle.
4. Turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF
and switch off all lights and
accessories in both vehicles,
except the hazard warning
ļ¬ashers if needed.
{WARNING
An electric fan can start up even
when the engine is not running
and can injure you. Keep hands,
clothing and tools away from any
underhood electric fan.
{WARNING
Using a match near a battery can
cause battery gas to explode.
People have been hurt doing this,
and some have been blinded. Use
a ļ¬ashlight if you need more light.
Be sure the battery has enough
water. You do not need to add
water to the battery installed in
your new vehicle. But if a battery
has ļ¬ller caps, be sure the right
amount of ļ¬uid is there. If it is
low, add water to take care of
that ļ¬rst. If you donāt, explosive
gas could be present.
Battery ļ¬uid contains acid that
can burn you. Do not get it on
you. If you accidentally get it in
your eyes or on your skin, ļ¬ush
the place with water and get
medical help immediately.
