Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPM)

If equipped with the Tire Pressure Monitoring system (TPM), each of the vehicles four wheels will have a valve stem with a pressure sensor and radio transmitter built in. Signals from the tire pressure sensor/transmitters are received and interpreted by the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).

A sensor/transmitter in a mounted wheel will broadcast its detected pressure once per minute when the vehicle is moving faster than 20 MPH (32 KM/H). Each sensor/transmitter's broadcast is uniquely coded so that the EVIC can determine the location.
