There are two tire pressure monitoring systems available, a base system and a premium system. The base system does not specify how many tires are low or where they are located. The premium system does so.
The base TPM system consists of 4 tire sensors, a central receiver module, and an indicator light. The Premium TPM system consists of 4 sensors, three wheel sensor transponders located in three of the four wheel wells, an electronic display, and an indicator light.
Base TPM System
Once pressure in the tires raises above the Low Pressure (lamp) OFF Threshold, and the TPM module receives a valid signal from the sensor, the indicator light will go out.
NOTE:
If a system fault is detected, the indicator lamp will flash on/off for 75 seconds, then remain on solid.
The TPM module automatically learns and stores the sensor IDs while driving "within 20 minutes continuously above 15 mph (24 km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced. The learning sequence will initiate when the vehicle has been stopped for more than 20 minutes.
NOTE:
A new sensor ID can also be programmed directly into the WIN or TPM module by using a RKE-TPM Analyzer in conjunction with a Scan Tool. Once the new sensor ID has been programmed, the vehicle will need to be driven above 15 mph until the fault is no longer active (lamp extinguishes) and display is updated (for up to 20 minutes). Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission from a sensor.
Premium TPM System
Once pressure in the tires raises above the Low Pressure (lamp) OFF Threshold, and the TPM module receives a valid signal from the sensor, the indicator light will go out.
NOTE:
If a system fault is detected due to a missing sensor signal, in addition to a chime and a indicator lamp flashing, a "Check TPM System" text message will be displayed in the instrument cluster, and the tire pressure graphic display will have "- -" in place of the pressure value. After the flash sequence, the TPM indicator light will remain illuminated. The system will return to normal once the TPM module receives a valid transmission from that sensor location. If a system fault is detected, the indicator lamp will flash on/off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.
The TPM module automatically learns and stores the sensor IDs while driving "within 20 minutes continuously above 15 mph (24 km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced. The learning sequence will initiate when the vehicle has been stopped for more than 20 minutes.
