system will automatically update and the “Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light” will extinguish once the up-
dated tire pressures have been received. The vehicle may
need to be driven for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (24
km/h) to receive this information. A low spare tire will
not cause the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” to
illuminate or the chime to sound.
The “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will flash
on and off for 60 seconds, and an audible chime will
sound when a system fault is detected. The flash cycle
will repeat every ten minutes, without an audible chime,
until the fault condition no longer exists. If the ignition
key is cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the
system fault still exists.
NOTE: Your vehicle is either equipped with the stan-
dard compact spare tire or an optional non-matching full
size spare tire. Both of these spare tires do not have a tire
pressure monitoring sensor. Therefore, they will not be
monitored by the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
In the event that the non-matching full size or compact
spare tire is swapped with a low pressure road tire, each
ignition key cycle will still show the “Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light” to be ON, and a chime to
sound. After the original road tire has been properly
repaired, and put back onto the vehicle in place of the
non-matching full size or compact spare tire, the TPMS
will update automatically, and the “Tire Pressure Moni-
toring Telltale Light” will be OFF as long as none of the
road tires are below the low pressure warning threshold.
The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h) to receive this information.
Premium System — If Equipped
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless
technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to
monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire pressure
readings to the Receiver Module.
