The “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” 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. If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will

repeat, providing the system fault still exists. The “Tire

Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will turn off when

the fault condition no longer exists. A system fault can

occur by any of the following scenarios: 1) Jamming due

to electronic devices or driving next to facilities emitting

the same radio frequencies as the TPM sensors; 2) Install-

ing 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.

NOTE: Your vehicle is equipped with a non-matching

full size spare wheel and tire assembly.

1. This spare tire does not have a tire pressure monitor-

ing sensor. Therefore, the TPMS will not monitor the tire

pressure in the spare tire.

2. If you install the full size spare tire in place of a road

tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure warning

limit, upon the next ignition key cycle a chime will sound

and the “TPM Telltale Light” will still turn ON due to the

low tire.

3. However, after driving the vehicle for up to 20 min-

utes above 15 mph (25 km/h), the “TPM Telltale Light”

will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on

solid.

4. For each subsequent ignition key cycle, a chime will

sound and the “TPM Telltale Light” will flash on and off

for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.

5. Once you repair or replace the original road tire, and

reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the full size spare tire,
