DESCRIPTION
A Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The TPM indicator is located above and to the right of the speedometer. Illumination of this indicator may also be accompanied by the display of certain textual messages in the cluster multi-function display.
The TPM indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol icon for tire failure/malfunction in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The TPM indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
