System Fault
If a system fault is detected, a chime will sound, and the TPM indicator (telltale) lamp will FLASH for 75 seconds, then remain ON solid. For vehicles with the Premium TPM Systems, a "CHECK TPM SYSTEM" message will appear in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), followed by a graphic display. A system fault can occur by many scenarios, including the following:
- Signal interference due to electronic devices or driving next to facilities emitting the same Radio Frequencies as the TPM sensors
- Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting that affects radio wave signals
- Accumulation of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings
- Using tire chains on the vehicle
- Using wheels not equipped with TPM sensors
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
