TPMS Malfunction Indicator
GC3E10001A
The TPMS will not function properly if
one or more of the TPMS sensors
are missing or inoperable. When the
system detects a malfunction, the
TPMS malfunction indicator flashes
for about one minute and then stays
on for the remainder of the ignition
cycle.
The TPMS malfunction indicator
comes on at each ignition cycle until
the problem is corrected. Some of
the conditions that can cause these
to come on are:
• One of the road tyres has been
replaced with the spare tyre.
• The spare tyre does not have a
TPMS sensor. The TPMS
malfunction indicator should go
off after the road tyre is replaced
containing TPMS sensor.
• The TPMS sensor matching
process was not done or not
completed successfully after
rotating the tyres. The
malfunction light should go off
after successfully completing the
sensor matching process. See
"TPMS Sensor Matching
Process" later in this section.
• One or more TPMS sensors are
missing or damaged. The
malfunction light should go off
when the TPMS sensors are
installed and the sensor matching
process is performed
successfully. See your dealer for
service.
• Replacement tyres or wheels do
not match the original equipment
tyres or wheels. Tyres and
wheels other than those
recommended could prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly.
• Operating electronic devices or
being near facilities using radio
wave frequencies similar to the
TPMS could cause the TPMS
sensors to malfunction.
If the TPMS is not functioning
properly, it cannot detect or signal a
low tyre condition. See your dealer
for service if the TPMS malfunction
light comes on and stay on.
