TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from function-

tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function prop-
erly.

valve stem.
Without the valve cap, dirt or moisture could
get into the valve, resulting in damage to the
tire inflation pressure sensor.
Do not use metal valve caps, which may
cause a metal reaction, resulting in corrosion
and damage of the tire inflation pressure sen-
sors.
Once adjustments have been made, the warn-
ing light will go off after a few minutes of
driving.

the spare tire. Driving on a punctured tire
could lead to an accident.
The warning light/display may not illuminate
immediately in the event of a tire blowout or
rapid leak.
