If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will repeat,
providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault
no longer exists, the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light will no longer flash, theSERVICE TPM SYSTEM
message will not be present, and a pressure value will be
displayed instead of dashes. A system fault can occur by
any of the following:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to facilities emitting the same Radio Frequencies as the
TPM sensors.
2. Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting that affects radio wave signals.
3. Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors. The EVIC will also display a
SERVICE TPM SYSTEM
message for a minimum of five seconds when a system
fault is detected possibly related to the trigger compo-
nent an incorrect sensor location fault. In this case, the
SERVICE TPM SYSTEM message is then followed by a
graphic display, with pressure values still shown. This
indicates the pressure values are still being received from
the TPM Sensors but they may not be located in the
correct vehicle position. However, the system still needs
to be serviced as long as the SERVICE TPM SYSTEM
message exists.
NOTE:
There is no tire pressure monitoring sensor in the
spare tire. The TPMS will not be able to monitor the tire
pressure. If you install the spare 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, a chime will
sound, and the EVIC will still display a “flashing” pressure

• Only use the jack in the positions indicated and for
lifting this vehicle during a tire change.
• If working on or near a roadway, be extremely
careful of motor traffic.
• To assure that spare tires, flat or inflated, are
securely stowed, spares must be stowed with the

molding). Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure
the jack is fully engaged.
