DESCRIPTION





This vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system. It utilizes a warning lamp in the Instrument Cluster to alert the driver when air pressure in any of the vehicle's four tires falls below a predetermined threshold.






The Universal Garage Door Opener/Tire Pressure Monitor module (1) is located in the headliner near the inside rear view mirror (2). The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system utilizes a control module to control the system. Both the TPM control module, and the Garage Door Opener control module are integrated together.






The Tire Pressure Monitoring System utilizes transmitters that are located in the valve stem (1) of each tire (2) to communicate the tire pressure condition to the module. If a tire has low air pressure, an indicator light on the Instrument Cluster is illuminated. The vehicle operator must check the tire pressure of each tire in order to determine which tire has a low pressure condition.


The TPM warning system utilizes these main components:

- Tire Pressure Monitoring Module
- Tire Pressure Sensors/Transmitters
- Tire Pressure Indicator Lamp
