Tire Pressure Monitoring System
There are 4 conditions that will cause a Tire Pressure Monitoring System fault to be set. All fault codes are associated with a specific wheel location.
- If the EVIC detects a non-transmitting sensor/transmitter in a road wheel for 10 minutes at a vehicle speed more than 25 MPH (40 KM/H).
- When the EVIC detects a low pressure sensor/transmitter battery status for 7 consecutive ignition cycles.
- When the EVIC detects any sensor transmitting at a shorter than expected interval.
- When the EVIC detects no valid pressure sensor ID from the spare tire for 20 consecutive ignition cycles spaced at least one hour apart.
In each case, it will store an active fault code, request a chime, display SERVICE TIRE PRESS SYSTEM and display a dashed line at the wheel location on the graphic display, if the display is activated.
All tire pressure monitoring system faults are specific to one location. If a BATTERY LOW, SENSOR FAILURE fault is detected, the location will be displayed. The appropriate sensor/transmitter can then be replaced. If a single sensor/transmitter cannot be detected by the EVIC, replace that sensor/transmitter. If none of the sensor/transmitters can be detected, perform self-test. See TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM TEST .
