NOTE: This problem occurs when the temperature around the sensor is -40 °F (-40 °C) or less. Note that the diagnosis must be made in a place where ambient temperature is -4 °F (-20 °C) or more.

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.

Does the TPMS indicator go off within one minute?

If UNDEFINED is still displayed, repeat the procedure in the previous sentence until NORMAL is shown.
