Remove Magnet From Spare (5-Tire TPM System Only)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Dodge Intrepid, 2003 Chrysler Intrepid, 2003 Chrysler Concorde, and 2003 Chrysler 300M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A magnet is used to initiate a sensor ID transmission. In the EVIC training procedure, the spare wheel is the last in the sequence. If the magnet is left on the wheel, the sensor/transmitter will continue its ID transmission. If the EVIC detects 20 transmissions from the spare wheel in 60 seconds and the vehicle speed is above 40 km/h (25 mph), it will:

request a chime.
display "REMOVE MAGNET FROM SPARE" for 60 seconds per ignition-ON cycle. 1.6 Tire Pressure Unavailable
The EVIC can detect high radio noise interference. When the noise level is too high to distinguish a transmission from a sensor/transmitter, it will:
display "TIRE PRESSURE UNAVAILABLE" for 5 seconds.
