TPMS Warning Indicator

The TPMS warning indicator and vehicle message center occasionally displays faults the customer cannot resolve. Treat these messages as serviceable TPMS faults.

The TPMS warning indicator remains on continuously and the message center displays LOW TIRE PRESSURE when any of the tire pressures fall below the low pressure limit. When this condition exists, adjust the tire pressure to the recommended cold tire pressure indicated on the VC label.
