System Faults

NOTE: The Remote Tire Pressure Monitors (RTPM) are not internally serviceable. For a Sensor Failure or Low Battery fault, the RTPM must be replaced.

There are four conditions which will cause a Tire Pressure Monitoring System fault to be set. All fault codes are associated with a specific wheel location.

  1. If the EVIC detects a non-transmitting Sensor/Transmitter in a road wheel for ten consecutive minutes with vehicle speed above 25 MPH (40 kph), it will:
    1. Store an active fault code.
    2. Request a chime.
    3. Display "TIRE SENSOR BAD/MISSING".
    4. Display a dashed line at the wheel location on the graphic display if the display is activated.

    When the EVIC detects:

  2. A low pressure sensor battery status,
  3. All five sensors transmitting at a shorter than expected interval,
  4. Or no valid pressure sensor ID from the spare tire for 20 consecutive ignition cycles spaced at least one hour apart, it will:
    1. Store an active fault code.
    2. Request a chime
    3. Display "TIRE SENSOR BAD/MISSING".

Use the DRBIII® Input/Output function to further isolate the specific concern.

The DRBIII® can be queried to determine the Sensor/Transmitter status:
