Basic TPMS with EVIC Ð If Equipped
The TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel rim
mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pressure lev-
els. 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 too main-
tain the proper pressure.
The Basic TPMS consists of the following components:
²Receiver Module
²4 Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors
²Various TPMS Messages, which display in the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
²Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale LampThe TPMS Telltale Lamp will illuminate in the instru-
ment cluster, and an audible chime will be activated
when one or more of the four active road tire pressures
are low. In addition, EVIC will display the number of
tire(s) that are low, followed by the ªTire Low Pressureº
text message. Should this occur, you should stop as soon
as possible, check the inflation pressure of each tire on
you vehicle, and inflate each tire to the vehicle's recom-
mended cold placard pressure value. The system will
automatically update and the TPMS Lamp will extin-
guish one the updated tire pressures have been received.
The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10 minutes
above 15 mph (25 km/h) for the TPMS to receive this
information.
The TPMS Telltale Lamp will flash on and off for 75
seconds, and remain on solid when a system fault is
detected. The system fault will also sound a chime. In
addition, EVIC will display a ªSERVICE TIRE SYSTEM
SOONº text message. If the ignition key is cycled, this
STARTING AND OPERATING 319

NOTE:Low pressure in the spare or compact tire
(which has no sensor and therefore not monitored) will
not cause the TPMS 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 flashing on the graphic
display to the vehicle's recommended cold placard pres-
sure value. The system will automatically update, the
graphic display of the pressure value(s) will stop flash-
ing, and the TPMS Lamp will extinguish once the up-
dated tire pressure(s) have been received. The vehicle
may need to be driven for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph
(25 km/h) for the TPMS to receive this information.Service Tire System Soon
The TPMS Telltale Lamp will flash on and off for 75
seconds, and remain on solid when a system fault is
detected. The system fault will also sound a chime. In
addition, the EVIC will display aªSERVICE TIRE SYS-
TEM SOONºtext message for 3 seconds. This text
message is then followed by ªÐ к, for the pressure
value(s) indicating which TPMS Sensor(s) is not being
received.
322 STARTING AND OPERATING

If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat,
providing the system fault still exists If the system fault
no longer exists, the TPMS Telltale Light will no longerflash, theªSERVICE TIRE SYSTEM SOONºtext mes-
sage will not be present, and a pressure value will be
displayed instead of dashes. A system fault can occur
with any of the following scenarios:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to
facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the TPMS
sensors.
2. Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting
that affects radio wave signals.
3. Accumulation of excessive snow and/or ice around
the wheels or wheel housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS sensors.
