Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Testing and Inspection
TPMS Indicator and Message Center Messages
The TPMS indicator and vehicle message center (if equipped) sometimes displays faults that cannot be resolved by the customer. Treat these messages
as TPMS faults that must be serviced.
TPMS Indicator Illuminates Continuously
The TPMS indicator remains on continuously for the following condition:
1. NOTE: If the spare tire is in use, the damaged road tire must be repaired and installed on the vehicle to restore complete TPMS functionality
before carrying out any diagnosis.
Low Tire Pressure - The TPMS indicator is illuminated solid and the message center displays "LOW TIRE PRESSURE" (if equipped). This is
displayed when any of the fire pressures are low. When this condition exists, the fire pressure must be adjusted to the recommended cold press-are
as indicated on the vehicle certification label and the table above. Adjust the air pressure in the fires.
TPMS Indicator Flashes
The TPMS indicator flashes (flashes 20 to 30 seconds) after bulb-check for the following conditions:
1. Tire Pressure Sensor Fault - If equipped, the message center will display "TIRE SENSOR FAULT" when a fire pressure sensor is malfunctioning.
