TPMS FIAT 500 2015 2.G User Guide

Should this occur, you should stop as soon as possible
and inflate the tires with low pressure to the vehicle’s
recommended cold placard pressure value. Once the
system receives the updated tire pressures, the system
will automatically update and the “Tire Pressure Moni-
toring Telltale Light” will turn off. The vehicle may needto be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this informa-
tion.
TPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the “Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light” will flash on and off for 75
seconds and then remain on solid. The system fault will
sound a chime and also display a “Service Tire Pressure
Monitoring System” message in the EVIC for approxi-
mately 5 seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place of
the pressure value to indicate which sensor is not being
received.

shown. This indicates that the pressure values are still
being received from the TPM sensors but they may not be
located in the correct vehicle position. The system still
needs to be serviced as long as theService Tire Pressure
Monitoring System message is displayed.
NOTE:
• The TPMS will not monitor the pressure in a replace-
ment tire installed without a tire pressure sensor.
• If you install a replacement tire in place of a road tire
that has a pressure below the low-pressure warning
limit, upon the next ignition switch cycle, the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will remain on and
a chime will sound. In addition, the graphic in the
EVIC will still display a pressure value highlighted in
a different color.
• After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h), the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will flash on and off for 75 seconds and
then remain on solid. In addition, the EVIC will
display a “Service TPM System” message and then
display dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value.
• For each subsequent ignition switch cycle, a chime will
sound, the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light”
will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on
solid, and the EVIC will display a “Service Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System” message and dashes (- -) in
place of the pressure value.
Once you repair or replace the original road tire and
reinstall it, the TPMS will update automatically. In addi-
tion, the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will
turn off and the graphic in the EVIC will display a new
pressure value instead of dashes (- -), as long as 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 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in
order for the TPMS to receive this information.
