Service Notice and Precautions for TPMS

- Low tire pressure warning lamp blinks for 1min, then turns ON when occurring any malfunction except low tire pressure. Erase the self-diagnosis memories for Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), or register the ID to turn low tire pressure warning lamp OFF. For ID registration, refer to "Work Procedure" Work Procedure.
- ID registration is required when replacing or rotating wheels, replacing tire pressure sensor or BCM. Refer to
"Work Procedure" Work Procedure.
- Replace grommet seal, valve core and valve cap of tire pressure sensor in TPMS, when replacing each tire by reaching the wear limit. Refer to "Exploded View" Exploded View.
- For easy fill tire alert function, refer to the following.
- When inflating the tires, park the vehicle in the safe area and ensure the safety of the working area.
- Read and understand the easy fill tire alert function prior to use.
- Inflate the tires one at a time.
- If there is no response for approximately 15 seconds or more after inflating the tires, cancel the use of the easy fill tire alert function or move the vehicle approximately 1 m (3.2 ft) backward or forward to try again.
The air filler pressure may be weak or out of service area.
- Despite the high-precision TPMS pressure sensor, an indicated value may differ from that of the pressure gauge.
- Air pressure is measured rather high due to the rise in tire air temperature after driving.
- If TPMS is malfunctioning, the easy fill tire alert is unusable.
- Because the tire pressure sensor conforms to North America radio law, the following items must be observed.
- The sensor may be used only in North America.
- It may not be used in any method other than the specified method.
- It must not be disassembled or modified.
