sensors begin to send the tire pressure readings to
a receiver inside the vehicle. These readings are
displayed when using the GAGES button on the DIC. If
you are unable to display your tire pressures while
the vehicle speed is greater than 15 mph (24 km/h), you
may need to have your sensor ID codes learned by
the vehicle. See your dealer.
