Tire Messages

CHECK TIRE PRESSURE

On vehicles with the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS), this message displays when the pressure in one or more of the vehicle's tires needs to be checked.

This message also displays LEFT FRONT, RIGHT FRONT, LEFT REAR, or RIGHT REAR to indicate which tire needs to be checked. You can receive more than one tire pressure message at a time. To read the other messages that may have been sent at the same time, press the set/reset button. If a tire pressure message appears on the DIC, stop as soon as you can. Have the tire pressures checked and set to those shown on the Tire and Loading Information label.

See Tires on page 10-37, Vehicle Load Limits on page 9-10, and Tire Pressure on page 10-44. The DIC also shows the tire pressure values.

See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 5-24. If the tire pressure is low, the low tire pressure warning light comes on. See Tire Pressure Light on page 5-21.

SERVICE TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM

On vehicles with the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS), this message displays if a part on the TPMS is not working properly. The tire pressure light also flashes and then remains on during the same ignition cycle. See Tire Pressure Light on page 5-21. Several conditions may cause this message to appear. See Tire Pressure Monitor Operation on page 10-47 for more information. If the warning comes on and stays on, there may be a problem with the TPMS. See your dealer.

TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE

On vehicles with the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS), this message displays when the TPMS is re-learning the tire positions on the vehicle. The tire positions must be re-learned after rotating the tires or after replacing a tire or sensor.

See Tire Rotation on page 10-50, Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 10-46, and Tire Pressure on page 10-44 for more information.
