Service Notice And Precautions For TPMS
- Low tire pressure warning lamp blinks for 1 min, then turns ON when occurring any malfunction except low tire pressure. Erase the self-diagnosis memories for low tire pressure warning control unit, or register the ID to turn low tire pressure warning lamp OFF. For ID registration, refer to DESCRIPTION .
- ID registration is required when replacing or rotating wheels, replacing tire pressure sensor or low tire pressure warning control unit. Refer to DESCRIPTION .
- Replace grommet seal, valve core and cap of tire pressure sensor in TPMS, when replacing each tire by reaching the wear limit. Refer to EXPLODED VIEW WITH TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
- For tire inflation indicator function, refer to the following.
- When inflating the tires, park the vehicle in the safe area and ensure the safety of the working area.
- Read and understand the tire inflation indicator function prior to use.
- Inflate the tires one at a time.
- If there is no response for approximately 15 seconds or more after inflating the tires, cancel the use of the tire inflation indicator function or move the vehicle approximately 1 m (3.2 ft) backward or forward to try again. The air filler pressure may be weak or out of service area.
- Despite the high-precision TPMS pressure sensor, an indicated value may differ from that of the pressure gauge.
- Air pressure is measured rather high due to the rise in tire air temperature after driving.
- If TPMS is malfunctioning, the tire inflation indicator is unusable.
